In  Every  Activity  People  Touch  People,  Ideas 


Members  of  Alleghany's  band  know  that  teamwork  is  essential  for.  a good  per- 
formance.

Are  Expressed  And  Responsibilities  Met 


Through  organizations,  academic  activities,  sports, 
and  extracurricular  activities  Alleghany's  students 
come  in  contact  with  many  varied  personalities.  They 
experience  the  joys  that  are  evident  when  a group 
project  is  completed.  Working  together  as  a club 
brings  satisfaction  when  projects  are  begun  from 
ideas  of  the  group  and  are  carried  through  with  re- 
sponsibility to  the  final  goal. 

Alleghany's  classes  encourage  free  expression  of 
ideas  which  benefit  the  entire  group.  Each  student 
is  taught  to  respect  the  individual  opinions  of  others 
but  he  is  also  taught  the  value  of  group  discussion  and 
decision. 

Especially  in  sports,  students  learn  the  value  of 
teamwork.  How  successful  is  a cross  country  relay 
without  teamwork?  Each  member  therefore  does  his 
best  not  just  for  himself  but  for  the  whole  of  the 
activity. 

Lastly,  let  us  look  at  the  success  of  Alleghany's 
extracurricular  activities.  Students  working  together 
toward  a common  end  strive  for  the  successful  ac- 
complishment of  their  goals. 

Club  members  working  diligently  on  a sponsored 
dance,  newspaper  staff  members  working  on  a special 
edition,  football  players  working  for  a close  win  and 
juniors  working  eagerly  on  the  prom  are  significant 
examples  of  Alleghany's  teamwork.

Art  students  often  have  opportunities  to  express  their  individual 
ideas. 

Students  such  as  Mark  Bennett  and  Phil  Nikkei  earn  trust  and 
respect  by  accepting  responsibility.

raising campaign,  en-

top  its  goal  of 
$3000. 


Each  of  Alleghany's  students  has  a unique 
place  in  the  school  and  in  the  whole  of  society. 
ACHS's  classes  encourage  the  individual  to 
delve  into  the  world  of  creative  thinking  and 
activity.  Free  expression  in  art,  music  and 
writing  are  just  a few  of  the  areas  in  which 
the  students  accept  the  responsibilities  con- 
nected with  individuality. 

Just  as  teamwork  is  necessary  to  succeed, 
so  is  the  individual  contribution  of  every 
person.  Teams,  groups  and  clubs  are  composed 
of  students  who  accept  the  responsibility  of 
a personal  challenge  and  meet  it  according 
to  their  ability.  Each  member  of  an  athletic 
team  must  give  his  all  for  the  eventual  vic- 
tory. Sometimes  his  efforts  crumple  in  defeat, 
but  at  least  he  has  the  individual  satisfaction 
of  trying.  Organizations  that  decide  to  under- 
take a large  civic  or  community  project  know 
that  their  success  is  dependent  upon  the  in- 
dividual's willingness  to  work. 

Every  student  at  Alleghany  has  a respon- 
sibility to  himself  as  well  as  to  society  to 
acquire  as  much  knowledge  as  is  possible. 
Eventually  this  individual  will  be  the  leader 
of  tomorrow's  world  Alleghany  County  High 
School's  curricula,  sports  programs,  and 
organizations,  offer  every  individual  a chance 
to  develop  himself  to  the  fullest  extent.  It  is 
the  student's  responsibility  to  seek  the  chal- 
lenge and  to  meet  it  with  ability.  Horizons 
are  bright  for  individuals  who  make  the  most 
of  their  opportunities  at  Alleghany.

Expressed  And 
The  Distillation  . . . 


C.  L.  Hylton,  Otis  Lewis,  and  Mike  Wade  casually  exchange 
comments  and  ideas  during  a between  class  break.  They 
have  found  such  extracurricular  discussions  both  an  enjoy- 
able and  an  enlightening  part  of  academic  life  at  ACHS.

. . . Of  The  Crowd 


Into  The  Individual 


Students  reluctantly  return  to 
classes  after  enjoying  SCA 
campaign  speeches. 


Groups,  teams  and  organizations 
are  all  important  to  the  functioning 
of  ACHS.  Working  together  in  harmo- 
ny is  one  of  the  basic  principles  which 
lead  to  the  success  of  activities  at 
Alleghany. 

Juniors  are  pleased  with  the  success 
of  their  efforts  in  relation  to  the 
junior-senior  prom.  Naturally  the 
large  gym  couldn't  have  been  trans- 
formed into  an  "Isle  of  Paradise"  by 
one  person. 

Hard  teamwork  is  evident  in  the 
athletic  records  compiled  by  ACHS 
athletes.  Wins  in  sports  brought  hardy 
exclamations  of  victory  resulting  from 
the  efficient  teamwork. 

Organizations  are  constantly  mak- 
ing contributions  to  ACHS.  Civic  proj- 
ects benefit  the  entire  student  body 
because  of  the  participation  of  the 
group. 

Although  the  crowd  and  group  are 
important,  the  individual  contributions 
rate  above  all  else.  Group  achievement 
depends  strictly  on  individual  work. 
Each  person  has  his  own  special  abili- 
ties and  ideas  which  benefit  the 
smooth  operation  of  the  group.  All 
areas  of  success  at  Alleghany  hold 
the  essence  of  individual  contribution. 

Alleghany's  atmosphere  permits  the 
individual  to  emerge  as  a unique  enti- 
ty. Alleghany's  students  will  contribute 
to  society  because  of  the  outstanding 
character  development  acquired  at 
Alleghany  County  High  School.

Mr.  Walker  is  Honored  for  Contributions 


Mr.  Walker  emphatically  makes  a point  whether  it  concerns 
trigonometry,  basketball  or  problems  of  administration. 


Who  has  ever  been  called  a “dumb  ox,"  “dadblame 
female,  or  knothead  ^ Those  who  hove  been  ad- 
dressed this  way  are  probably  well  acquainted  with 
the  rest  of  the  “complementary"  expressions  confer- 
red upon  lucky  individuals  by  Mr.  Charles  Walker. 
Although  Mr.  Walker  has  achieved  a certain  notori- 
ety for  his  persecution  of  the  public  address  system, 
English  teachers,  and  females  in  general;  he  is  better 
known  by  the  students  at  ACHS  as  an  outstanding 
teacher,  coach,  administrator,  and  friend. 

Mr.  Walker  is  also  known  as  “Rembrandt"  Walker 
by  those  who  have  often  marveled  at  his  singular 
ability  for  sketching  freehand  circles  and  triangles. 
He  has  also  acquired  the  habit  of  giving  impromptu 
whistling  concerts  while  performing  his  blackboard 
artistry.  Never  has  he  had  a discipline  problem  in 
one  of  his  classes,  because  alertness  is  a must  for  all 
students  lest  they  miss  some  of  Mr.  Walker's  spon- 
taneous remarks  or  antics.  Those  students  who  have 
been  in  Mr.  Walker's  classes  have  been  inspired  and 
enlightened  by  his  methods  of  teaching.  His  effec- 
tiveness as  a teacher  is  best  reflected  in  the  college 
records  of  his  former  students. 

Mr.  Walker  admits  to  having  made  only  two  mis- 
takes in  his  life,  (the  substance  of  these  errors  he 
has  never  revealed)  but  despite  what  he  may  say, 
Mr.  Walker  is  not  so  nearly  perfect  as  he  boasts.  At 
times,  in  his  capacity  as  varsity  basketball  coach,  he 
has  been  known  to  use  some  rather  strong  language. 
In  fact  on  more  than  one  occasion  he  is  reported  to 
have  said,  “Triple-double-fudge!"  Through  moments 
of  elating  victory  or  crushing  defeat,  he  has  retained 
a spark  of  optimism  and  a strong  desire  to  win.  When 
talent  may  have  been  lacking,  he  instilled  desire  and 
spirit  into  the  boys. 

In  the  autumn  of  1966,  Mr.  Walker  stepped  with 
accustomed  ease,  into  his  new  role  as  assistant  prin- 
cipal. In  undertaking  these  new  administrative  re- 
sponsibilities, Mr.  Walker  is  efficiency  personified. 
His  presence  has  done  much  to  streamline  the  duties 
of  the  office  staff  and  make  Mr.  Cvizic's  job  more 
bearable.  His  disciplinary  measures  have  been  firm 
but  fair,  earning  him  the  deserved  and  genuine  re- 
spect of  the  students. 

Thus,  the  tall  figure  striding  down  the  hall  with 
his  hands  rammed  in  his  pockets  will  be  one  of  the 
most  pleasant  memories  of  ACHS.  His  quick  wit, 
fairness  and  good-natured  attitude  are  the  distin- 
guishing marks  of  a unique  individual.  Therefore, 
with  great  admiration  and  esteem,  the  ALCOVA  staff 
and  the  students  of  ACHS  dedicate  the  1967  AL- 
COVA to  Mr.  Charles  Walker.

Are  Designed  To  Meet  The  Needs  Of  Students 


As  in  all  schools,  the  main  function  of  Alleghany 
County  High  School  is  the  operation  of  its  academic 
program.  To  meet  the  different  needs  of  its  students, 
Alleghany  offers  courses  in  college  preparatory,  com- 
mercial, and  general  programs. 

In  every  course,  students  are  taught  the  value  of 
class  discussion  and  exchange  of  ideas  as  well  as  the 
importance  of  individual  effort.  High  achievement  is 
encouraged  in  all  fields  of  endeavor.  Courses  offered 
at  ACHS  enable  a student  to  develop  his  special  inter- 
ests and  abilities  as  well  as  to  prepare  for  his  chosen 
vocation.  In  addition  to  specific  data  and  skills,  stu- 
dents are  taught  the  correct  methods  of  studying,  rea- 
soning, and  problem-solving.  Success  in  the  academic 
program  usually  aids  a student  in  choosing  his  career 


by  allowing  him  to  discover  in  what  fields  his  talents 
lie. 

Alleghany's  able  faculty  members  maintain  high 
standards  of  learning  in  every  department  of  the  aca- 
demic program.  In  addition  to  their  regular  teaching 
duties,  they  are  usually  quite  willing  to  assist  students 
who  need  extra  help  in  their  courses.  Faculty  members 
sponsor  extracurricular  organizations  and  coach  ath- 
letic teams  which  are  extremely  valuable  in  develop- 
ing students'  social  and  physical  skills.  Many  teachers 
take  a special  interest  in  the  students'  problems  and 
plans;  through  instruction  and  encouragement,  these 
teachers  endeavor  to  aid  students  in  achieving  their 
goals. 


School  Board  Formulates  A ll  School  Policies 


Mr.  C.  M.  Smith, 

District  Supervisor 
East  Carolina  College,  B.S. 
University  of  Virginia,  M.Ed. 


To  the  school  board  belongs  the  responsibility  of  de- 
termining regulations  and  policies  for  all  schools  in 
Alleghany  County.  Their  fairness  in  policy  making  is 
demonstrated  by  their  willingness  to  listen  to  reason- 
able requests  and  petitions  to  change  established 
rules. 

In  addition  to  setting  policies,  they  are  also  respon- 
sible for  supervising  the  administration  of  them.  Their 
supervisor,  Mr.  C.  M.  Smith,  checks  to  be  sure  that  all 
schools  are  functioning  smoothly.  He  assists  in  trying 
to  solve  any  problems  which  cannot  be  solved  locally. 

Due  to  the  helpful  suggestions  from  Mr.  Walter 
Hodnett,  Superintendent  of  Alleghany  County  Schools, 
and  the  capable  leadership  of  Mrs.  Lois  Hamlett, 
chairman,  the  school  board  manages  to  reach  de- 
cisions that  are  in  the  best  interests  of  all  involved. 


School  board  members  are:  Chairman,  Mrs.  John  Hamlett,  Mr.  Bishop  Pentz,  Mr.  Robert 
Burrowes,  Mr.  Frank  Hammond,  Mr.  Delbert  Hepler,  Mrs.  James  Ginn,  and  Mr.  Walter  Hod- 
nett, Superintendent.

Mr.  Cvizic  Administers 
School  Rules  Fairly 


To  students  at  Alleghany,  Mr.  Cvizic  is  the 
symbol  of  authority.  He  represents  all  school 
policy  and  rules;  in  most  instances  where  con- 
flict with  school  policy  arises,  he  is  the  final 
authority;  however,  his  warm  and  friendly 
personality  keep  him  from  seeming  aloof. 
When  he  walks  down  a hall  at  ACHS,  he  al- 
ways has  a friendly  greeting  for  the  students 
and  faculty  members  that  he  meets.  He  always 
finds  time  for  those  who  have  important  mat- 
ters to  discuss  with  him. 

Students  should  never  be  deceived  by  think- 
ing that  Mr.  Cvizic's  amiable  manner  will  in- 
terfere with  his  conscientious  administering 
of  regulations  governing  the  student  body.  He 
can  become  a firm  disciplinarian  when  a situ- 
ation necessitates  his  so  doing,  but  he  always 
deals  with  students  with  fairness  and  great 
patience.  Usually,  he  is  willing  to  dispense 
mild  punishment  to  offenders  and  to  give  them 
another  chance.  He  will  always  listen  to  spec- 
ial requests  which  are  reasonable  and  will  base 
his  decisions  on  all  pertinent  factors. 

Always  seeking  to  improve  school  condi- 
tions, Mr.  Cvizic  sets  high  standards  for  stu- 
dent conduct.  He  assumes  a special  interest  in 
all  student  activities. 


Mr.  Cvizic  enters  his  office  to  begin  his  usual,  busy  day.

Mr.  Walker  Is  Named  Assistant  Principal 


Mr.  Walker  teases  Jeannie  Morris  as  he  signs  an  absentee  excuse  for  her. 


Another  office  was  added  to  the  administrative 
staff  of  Alleghany  County  High  School  in  the  autumn 
of  1966.  To  fill  the  new  office  of  assistant  principal, 
Mr.  Charles  F.  Walker  was  named.  Prior  to  this  year, 
he  had  been  a member  of  the  mathematics  depart- 
ment. 

In  his  new  capacity,  Mr.  Walker  undertakes  many 
of  the  duties  which  have  previously  been  performed 
by  Mr.  Cvizic  and  Mr.  Holbert.  He  begins  the  year  by 
assigning  students  to  classes  according  to  the  curricula 
they  have  entered.  Mr.  Walker's  customary  responsi- 
bilities include  signing  absentee  excuses,  approving 
students'  leaving  school  early,  checking  teachers'  reg- 
isters, and  conferring  with  teachers,  students,  and 
parents  on  problems  about  courses  and  grades. 
Throughout  the  year,  he  assists  in  scheduling  and  di- 
recting academic  and  extracurricular  activities.  He 
frequently  assumes  the  role  of  a disciplinarian  by  pun- 
ishing those  students  who  are  guilty  of  breaking  school 
rules.  In  the  absence  of  Mr.  Cvizic,  he  undertakes  the 
administrative  and  ceremonial  duties  of  principal  of 
Alleghany. 


Mr.  Walker  confers  with  Mrs.  McClintic  and  Mr.  Jefferies  as  they 
patrol  the  halls  between  classes.

Mr.  Holbert  Combines  Efficiency  With  Duty 


Mr.  Holbert  fills  out  a monthly  bus  report. 


In  his  capacity  as  administrative  assistant,  Mr. 
Holbert  works  in  cooperation  with  Mr.  Cvizic  and 
Mr.  Walker.  His  main  duty  is  serving  as  athletic 
and  bus  director.  As  athletic  director,  Mr  Holbert 
is  responsible  for  scheduling  all  athletic  events  in- 
volving teams  from  Alleghany.  Such  planning  in- 
volves corresponding  with  representatives  from 
other  schools  to  correlate  Alleghany's  athletic 
schedule  with  theirs.  Often,  he  must  make  last 
minute  checks  upon  playing  conditions  prior  to 
game  time.  He  frequently  supervises  games  and 
meets  to  see  that  everything  is  running  smoothly. 

Mr.  Holbert's  duties  as  bus  director  include  di- 
recting bus  maintenance,  planning  bus  routes, 
checking  bus  mileage  and  the  number  of  students 
riding  buses,  and  assisting  bus  drivers  with  any 
discipline  problems.  It  is  his  responsibility  to  keep 
records  of  bus  expenses. 

In  addition  to  his  other  duties  as  administrative 
assistant,  Mr.  Holbert  supervises  the  maintenance 
staff  for  Alleghany  County  High  School.  Their 
efficiency  is  testimony  to  his  capable  superintend- 
ence.

Mrs.  McCaleb  labors  over  financial  records  as 
Mrs.  Snead  searches  for  a file. 


As  the  brain  is  the  control  center  of  the  body, 
so  the  administrative  office  is  the  center  of  all 
school  activities.  Mrs.  Dora  McCaleb  and  Mrs.  El- 
len Snead,  assisted  by  an  efficient  staff  of  stu- 
dents, do  the  bulk  of  the  paper  work  for  ACHS. 

Their  duties  include  acting  as  receptionists,  car- 
rying on  correspondence,  keeping  financial  rec- 
ords for  the  school,  and  running  the  school  book- 
store and  clinic.  In  addition,  they  do  much  to  light- 
en the  workloads  of  Mr.  Cvizic  and  Mr.  Walker  by 


settling  many  of  the  minor  problems  and  disputes 
which  arise  during  the  course  of  an  average  school 
day.  Mrs.  McCaleb  and  Mrs.  Snead  supervise  the 
compiling,  printing,  and  distributing  of  daily  ab- 
sentee lists  as  well  as  periodic  notices  to  students 
and  faculty  members.  They  keep  permanent  school 
files,  absentee  records,  and  schedule  cards  for  all 
students  at  Alleghany.  Mrs.  McCaleb  and  Mrs. 
Snead  are  ever  ready  to  lend  their  services  to  stu- 
dents or  teachers  in  need  of  assistance.

Band  And  Choir  Give  Recreation  And  Skills 


Band  and  choir  classes  at  ACHS  provide 
pleasant  recreation  as  well  as  cultural 
skills.  Musical  pieces  which  students  learn 
are  chosen  for  the  Christmas  and  spring 
concerts  which  the  advanced  band  and  all 
choir  members  present  annually.  At  these 
times,  students  who  have  excelled  in  their 
efforts  are  able  to  display  their  talents  in 
solo  performances.  Some  students  are  oc- 
casionally given  the  opportunity  to  direct 
band  and  choir  classes  during  the  year; 
usually,  these  students  are  ones  who  plan 
careers  in  the  field  of  music  and  who  hope 
eventually  to  direct  choirs  or  bands  of  their 
own. 

Besides  their  regularly  scheduled  con- 
certs, band  and  choir  members  often  lend 
their  talents  to  other  school  functions  and 
to  extracurricular  activities.  Thus,  the 
skills  acquired  in  their  classes  are  often 
utilized  in  other  phases  of  the  students' 
lives.

Art  Study  Gives  Skills  And  Art  Appreciation 


Students  in  art  classes  learn  not  only  a 
creative  form  of  self-expression  but  also 
real  appreciation  of  such  efforts  by  others. 
Under  the  direction  of  Miss  Smith,  they 
learn  to  work  with  paint,  mosaics,  and  pot- 
tery. Such  knowledge  will  provide  one  who 
has  taken  art  with  the  skills  for  a pleasant 
and  rewarding  hobby.  Unlike  many  other 
courses,  art  provides  a student  with  tangi- 
ble evidence  of  his  success  and  progress. 
The  best  creations  produced  during  the 
year  are  displayed  in  an  art  show  held  in 
early  spring.  Art  work  in  the  form  of  scen- 
ery and  backdrops  for  plays  customarily 
wins  accolades  from  audiences.  Often,  lat- 
ent talents  are  discovered  through  the 
completion  of  class  projects;  some  students 
go  on  to  study  for  careers  in  the  field  of 
art  because  of  the  pleasure  and  encour- 
agement they  have  derived  from  their 
high  school  art  classes. 

Even  if  they  themselves  have  little  tal- 
ent, students  learn  a deeper  and  truer  ap- 
preciation and  understanding  of  painting 
and  sculpture.  Because  of  their  study  of 
the  history  of  and  present  styles  of  art, 
they  are  better  able  to  interpret  the  ideas 
or  emotions  which  an  artist  attempts  to 
express  in  his  works.

Alleghany's  library  serves  two  main  purposes  for 
students.  First,  it  is  an  invaluable  source  of  informa- 
tion for  those  who  are  preparing  essays,  research  re- 
ports, or  term  papers  for  their  classes.  Second,  the 
library's  large  stock  of  books  is  more  than  adequate 
for  those  persons  who  read  for  pleasure  or  as  a re- 
quired part  of  their  courses.  Its  collections  of  novels, 
plays,  short  stories,  poetry,  biographies,  and  nonfic- 
tion accounts  can  satisfy  almost  any  reading  taste  or 
need. 

Miss  Wolfe  and  her  staff  of  assistant  librarians  are 
always  available  to  assist  library  users  in  locating  spe- 
cific books  or  back  issues  of  periodicals.  Often,  Miss 
Wolfe  recommends  books  which  she  has  found  to  be 
especially  informative  or  entertaining. 

Records  and  films  are  available  to  faculty  members 
to  be  used  as  additional  teaching  aids  in  classroom 
instruction.  The  main  function  of  the  library  is  service 
to  students  and  teachers.

Foreign  Languages  Expand  English  Knowledge 


Foreign  languages  are  often  considered  frivolous  and  worthless 
subjects.  On  the  contrary,  a knowledge  of  at  least  one  foreign  lan- 
guage can  be  beneficial  to  anyone.  Because  the  English  language  has 
been  derived  from  so  many  foreign  tongues,  knowledge  of  another 
language  often  helps  to  broaden  one's  English  vocabulary.  Such  learn- 
ing also  extends  one's  understanding  of  words  already  common  to 
his  vocabulary.  Frequently,  a reader  can  guess  the  meaning  of  an 
English  word  which  is  similar  in  spelling  or  pronunciation  to  a foreign 
term.  Knowing  the  original  meaning  of  a term  often  helps  one  to  un- 
derstand the  concept  to  which  it 
has  been  attached  and  why  it  was 
first  applied. 

Words  from  foreign  languages 
are  frequently  found  in  medical, 
geographical,  and  scientific  terms. 

Knowledge  of  a foreign  language 
is  especially  helpful  to  a person 
who  plans  a career  related  to  one 
of  these  fields.  Doctors  and  pharm- 
acists in  particular  must  conduct 
much  of  their  business  in  a foreign 
language. 

Most  language  courses  include  a 
study  of  the  locality  where  the 
language  is  commonly  spoken. 

Geographical  and  cultural  study 
of  this  type  not  only  increases  one's 
comprehension  of  the  language 
but  also  broadens  his  concept  and 
understanding  of  the  people  who 
speak  it  as  a native  language.

Guidance  Department  Assists  Students  In 


Guidance  in  planning  high  school  curricula 
and  education  after  high  school  is  essential  to 
most  students.  For  every  student,  a schedule  of 
studies  is  made  up  each  year.  This  schedule  takes 
into  account  both  the  student's  needs  and  abilities 
and  his  future  plans.  Such  schedules  are  correlated 
to  the  three  high  school  curricula  offered;  thus, 
each  student  is  able  to  meet  the  requirements  for 
a college  preparatory,  commercial,  or  general  di- 
ploma. 

Guidance  counselors  often  recommend  courses 
that  pertain  to  a student's  special  interests.  Tak- 
ing such  courses  enables  one  to  formulate  a pic- 
ture of  his  vocational  possibilities.  Specific  courses 
may  help  an  indecisive  student  to  choose  a career. 
In  addition,  free  vocational  aptitude  tests  are  of- 


ten made  available  to  seniors. 

There  is  further  assistance  available  for  college- 
bound  students.  Educational  development  and  col- 
lege board  tests  indicate  one's  general  areas  of 
weakness  and  ability.  The  National  Merit  Scholar- 
ship test  is  given  to  those  students  in  need  of  fi- 
nancial assistance.  Counselors  help  a student 
select  the  college  or  colleges  which  fit  his  needs 
and  whose  requirements  he  meets,  apply  for  ad- 
mission, and  seek  the  necessary  grants,  aids,  or 
scholarships.  In  aiding  students  who  seek  college 
admission,  the  guidance  department  must  send 
transcripts  and  recommendations  to  each  college. 
Only  when  the  student  has  been  accepted  and  the 
last  grade  sheet  has  been  mailed  is  their  job 
ended.

English  Students  Gain  Improved  Communication 


One  of  the  greatest  problems  of  the 
world  today  is  lack  of  effective  communi- 
cation. Improved  communication  is  the 
main  goal  of  Alleghany's  English  depart- 
ment. One  of  the  best  indications  that  so- 
ciety places  great  value  on  this  study  is 
the  fact  that  five  years  of  English  are  a re- 
quired part  of  Alleghany's  curricula. 

English  skills  are  essential  to  all  peo- 
ple; often,  a man  is  judged  by  his  ability 
to  express  himself.  English  teachers  at 
ACHS  strive  to  teach  students  to  express 
their  ideas  more  clearly.  Grammar  teaches 
these  students  the  mechanics  of  proper 
English.  Literature  read  by  Alleghany's 
English  classes  demonstrates  the  ways  in 
which  the  world's  best  writers  have  utilized 
language  skills  to  make  their  works  dy- 
namic rather  than  mediocre. 

Students  at  ACHS  are  taught  improved 
methods  of  spoken  and  written  communi- 
cation, By  means  of  speeches,  essays,  and 
critical  analyses,  students  are  encouraged 
to  express  their  own  opinions  and  ideas. 
Grades  which  they  receive  and  suggestions 
for  improvement  reveal  to  the  students  the 
flaws  in  their  own  skills.

Mathematics  is  one  of  the  most  funda- 
mental courses  offered  at  ACHS.  It  is  in- 
corporated in  college  preparatory,  com- 
mercial, and  general  programs  of  study. 

To  successfully  complete  the  college  pre- 
paratory program,  students  must  take  two 
years  of  algebra  and  one  of  geometry. 
Some  college  preparatory  students  also 
take  trigonometry  to  extend  their  mathe- 
matical background  for  college.  Commer- 
cial students  must  complete  one  year  of 
bookkeeping  in  addition  to  other  school  re- 
quirements for  graduation.  All  students 
are  required  to  take  eighth  and  ninth 
grade  mathematics. 

Mathematical  training  not  only  pre- 
pares students  for  specific  careers,  but 
also  enables  them  to  compute  correctly 
mathematical  problems  which  arise  in 
their  vocations  and  daily  lives.

Phys.  Ed.  Develops 
Strength  And  Character

Development  of  mind  and  body  is  the  aim  of  the  phy- 
sical education  department.  Physical  strength  without 
corresponding  sportsmanship  is  of  little  value. 

Supervised  exercises,  team  sports,  and  individual 
achievements  are  designed  to  make  all  students  more  phy- 
sically fit.  Individual  excellence  as  well  as  team  perform- 
ance are  encouraged  in  all  activities.  Many  who  discover 
special  athletic  interests  and  abilities  also  participate  in 
sports  which  are  sponsored  as  a part  of  extracurricular  ac- 
tivities. Even  those  who  do  not  excel  in  sports  find  physical 
education  an  interesting  and  beneficial  channel  of  rest 
and  relaxation.  Strong,  healthy  bodies  which  result  from 
physical  exercise  contribute  to  students'  ability  to  use 
their  full  potentials  for  academic  achievement. 

In  addition  to  helping  students  develop  physically,  phy- 
sical education  helps  to  build  character.  Students  are  en- 
couraged to  do  their  best  in  all  activities.  High  grades  and 
a sense  of  accomplishment  compose  a double  reward 
which  encourages  further  effort.  Group  activities  teach 
the  value  of  teamwork  to  achieve  common  goals.  In  all  en- 
deavors, fairness  and  sportsmanship  are  essential  at- 
titudes.

Experiments  Typify 
Science  Courses 

Alleghany's  science  department  is  one 
of  the  most  active  academic  sections  in  the 
school.  Science,  as  taught  at  ACHS  is 
made  an  adventure  in  learning  because  it 
involves  actual  demonstrations  and  experi- 
ments, many  of  which  are  performed  by 
the  students  themselves. 

Eighth  grade  science,  ninth  grade  sci- 
ence or  earth  science,  and  biology  are  re- 
quired courses  for  all  Alleghany  students. 
Those  students  who  wish  to  receive  college 
preparatory  diplomas  must  take  chemistry. 
Physics  is  the  most  advanced  science 
course  offered  at  ACHS;  students  who 
take  physics  are  usually  those  who  plan  a 
career  in  engineering  or  science. 

ACHS's  two  laboratories  are  well  stock- 
ed with  equipment  and  materials  for  scien- 
tific experiments.  In  eighth  grade  and 
earth  science  courses,  students  usually  ob- 
serve experiments  performed  by  their  in- 
structors. Beginning  with  biology,  students 
are  encouraged  to  perform  simple  experi- 
ments related  to  the  part  of  the  course 
which  they  are  studying.  By  performing 
such  experiments,  students  are  better  able 
to  realize  the  "cause  and  effect"  prin- 
ciples of  the  more  complex  science  forms. 
For  all  students,  science  provides  a greater 
understanding  and  awareness  of  the  world 
around  them,  as  well  as  vast  experience  in 
solving  problems  and  in  discovering  the 
laws  governing  these  solutions.

sire to  obtain  permanent  employment  im- 
mediately after  high  school  graduation 
and  to  those  who  will  attend  business  col- 
leges and  perhaps  receive  a degree. 

Students  who  wish  to  participate  in  the 
commercial  program  at  ACHS  are  offered 
two  years  of  typing,  two  years  of  short- 
hand, bookkeeping,  business  mathematics, 
office  practice,  and  general  business.  Such 
a variety  enables  them  to  select  the  speci-

they  are  most  capable  and  interested.  High 
goals  are  set  at  the  beginning  of  each

Throughout  the  year,  they  endeavor  to 
achieve  these  goals  of  speed  and  accuracy 
in  completing  their  work.

Useful  Skills 


Home  economics  is  a practical  course.  Skills  which  are  acquired 
can  be  used  in  a most  rewarding  vocation,  that  of  keeping  house  for 
one's  family. 

One  of  the  most  outstanding  skills  which  home  economics  stu- 
dents learn  is  sewing.  As  a part  of  their  course,  the  girls  are  required 
to  complete  a garment  during  the  year.  They  are  taught  the  correct 
methods  of  stretching,  cutting,  and  sewing  their  fabrics.  These  girls 
proudly  model  their  completed  articles  of  clothing  in  a fashion  show 
which  is  sponsored  by  the  Future  Homemakers  of  America. 

In  addition  to  sewing,  students  also  receive  information  about  nu- 
trition, personal  grooming,  cooking  and  canning,  budgeting,  clean- 
ing, and  home  nursing.  In  home  economics,  students  learn  by  doing; 
often,  their  grades  are  based  on  their  ability  to  perform  required 
tasks.

Social  Studies  Courses  Satisfy  Variety  Of 


8 


U 


Social  studies  courses  at  ACHS  are  extreme- 
ly varied.  Courses  offered  are  eighth  grade  so- 
cial studies,  civics,  world  history,  world  geo- 
graphy, American  history,  and  United  States 
government;  most  of  these  courses  are  requir- 
ed for  all  students. 

While  most  of  the  social  studies  courses 
concentrate  on  the  United  States  and  its  rela- 
tions with  other  countries,  some  of  the  courses 
do  deal  with  the  world  in  general.  World  his- 
tory is  a study  of  the  main  historic  events  from 
prehistoric  ages  up  to  the  present  time.  World 
geography  is  an  examination  of  all  parts  of  the 
globe.  This  course  includes  the  study  of  the  en- 
vironmental factors,  culture,  and  economic 
factors  of  most  of  the  countries  of  the  world. 
Civics  is  a generalized  study  of  world  history, 
geography,  and  sociology. 

Social  studies  serves  many  purposes.  One  of 
the  most  commonly  recognized  purposes  is 
that  of  learning  by  past  experiences.  However, 
such  courses  also  promote  and  expand  world 
understanding  by  revealing  factors  which  in- 
fluence the  actions  of  people  of  other  nation- 
alities.

D.E.  And  Drivers’  Ed. 
Give  Beneficial  Skills 


Distributive  Education  students  at  Alleghany  are 
first  taught  correct  methods  of  merchandising  in  the 
classroom  portion  of  their  course;  then  with  the  aid 
of  Mr.  Duff,  they  locate  jobs  in  local  business  firms. 
Being  hired  by  a businessman  begins  the  second  im- 
portant phase  of  Distributive  Education  students'  in- 
struction, their  on-the-job  training.  Although  these 
students  take  written  examinations  and  receive  grades 
on  their  report  cards,  the  real  test  of  what  the  students 
have  learned  is  their  success  in  their  jobs. 

Distributive  Education  enables  students  to  formu- 
late ideas  of  the  types  of  careers  they  wish  to  pursue 
after  graduation.  In  addition,  they  receive  work  ex- 
perience which  will  prove  invaluable  when  they  apply 
for  permanent  positions. 

In  Drivers'  Education,  students  learn  safe  driving 
procedures  and  gain  practice  and  skill.  This  knowledge 
will  make  them  better  drivers  than  those  who  have  not 
taken  the  course.  Besides  improving  their  performance 
records,  Drivers'  Education  provides  students  with 
knowledge  of  the  functioning  of  various  parts  of  a 
car;  such  information  might  prove  to  be  useful  if  the 
car  should  fail  to  operate  properly.  As  an  added  bonus 
students  who  successfully  complete  the  course  are 
eligible  for  insurance  discounts.

Bring  Students  Together  After  School  Hours 


At  ACHS  the  good  times  begin  when  the  school  day 
ends.  Ranging  from  casual  sock-hops  to  formal 
dances,  the  social  functions  are  many  and  varied. 

Beginning  this  year's  activities  was  the  Homecom- 
ing Dance  following  the  Homecoming  Game.  Athough 
Alleghany  lost  this  important  game,  the  defeat  did  not 
dampen  the  spirits  of  the  students  as  they  proudly 
chose  Betty  Bush  to  reign  as  Homecoming  Queen  for 
1966. 

For  the  first  time  this  year,  the  junior  class  present- 
ed a class  play.  Our  Town,  under  the  skilled  direction 
of  Miss  Mary  Litts  Burton.  In  keeping  with  tradition 
the  seniors  presented  a class  play  of  their  own.  Under 
the  combined  leadership  of  Mrs.  Bush,  Mrs.  Barber, 
and  Mrs.  Jonas,  Tammy  Tell  Me  True  was  a tremend- 
ous success. 

To  the  delight  of  all  students,  the  FHA  once  again 
sponsored  the  annual  Christmas  Formal,  while  the 
Senior  Tri-Hi-Y  presented  the  Sweetheart  Dance.  Con- 
nie Shires  and  John  Swartz  won  the  approval  of  all 
present  as  they  were  chosen  Queen  and  King  of  the 
Sweetheart  Dance. 


Once  again,  the  junior  class  worked  many  long 
hours  to  favor  the  seniors  with  a Prom  which  would  not 
easily  be  forgotten.  "Isle  of  Enchantment,"  an  elabor- 
ate Hawaiian  theme,  will  be  long  remembered  by  all 
who  attended. 

After  much  deliberation  by  a panel  of  unbiased 
judges,  Paula  Sue  Traylor  was  chosen  from  a group  of 
twelve  young  ladies  to  reign  as  Miss  Alcova  for  1967. 
David  Smith  was  selected  "Boy  of  the  Year"  by  the 
popular  vote  of  the  senior  class  on  the  basis  of  leader- 
ship, sportsmanship,  scholarship,  and  general  charac- 
ter. 

Bringing  the  year  to  a close  were  those  activities  de- 
signed only  for  seniors.  The  Senior  Banquet  gave  the 
students  an  opportunity  to  re-establish  forgotten 
friendships  and  strengthen  old  ones  as  they  gathered 
for  an  evening  of  fun  and  relaxation.  With  gradua- 
tion, the  seniors  closed  another  chapter  in  the  book  of 
their  lives,  but  as  each  set  out  on  his  separate  way  he 
knew  that  he  would  never  forget  the  valuable  lessons 
and  happy  memories  he  gained  as  a member  of  the 
"team"  of  1967  graduates. 


Homecoming  Begins  The  Year’s  Activities  As 


John  Bradley,  Jeanne  Walton,  Walter  Seidel,  Gale  Thrasher,  David  Chamberlain,  Blair  Wilhelm,  Carolyn  Dressier,  and  Pete  Nicely 

Smith,  Paula  Sue  Traylor,  Betty  Bush,  Roger  Daniel,  Thaddea  paused  before  the  student  body  during  the  presentation  assembly. 


Alleghany's  Homecoming  activities  of 
1966  were  begun  by  a combined  assembly 
and  pep  rally  during  which  the  six  lovely 
candidates  vying  for  the  honor  of  queen 
were  presented  to  the  student  body.  To  the 
delight  and  surprise  of  all,  Coach  Leon 
Potter  sang  "Three  Coins  in  a Fountain." 

As  the  student  body  voted  for  the  can- 
didate of  their  choice  and  the  time  drew 
closer  to  name  a Homecoming  Queen,  the 
air  grew  tense  with  excitement.  During  the 
half  time  ceremonies  of  the  Homecoming 
Game,  tension  broke  into  joy  as  Betty  Bush 
was  crowned  Homecoming  Queen  of  1966 
by  the  President  of  the  Alleghany  Athletic 
Association,  Mr.  Phil  Crawford. 

Streamers  in  the  traditional  school  col- 
ors of  red,  white,  and  blue  decorated  the 
gym  for  the  Homecoming  Dance  as  stu- 
dents and  alumni  enjoyed  the  music  of  a 
live  combo.  Adding  to  the  excitement  was 
the  Queen's  Dance  in  honor  of  the  newly 
chosen  queen  and  her  court. 


After  the  crowning  of  the  Homecoming  Queen,  Pete  Nicely,  Carolyn  Dressier, 
Thaddea  Chamberlain,  Roger  Daniel,  Betty  Bush,  Walter  Seidel,  Gale  Thrasher, 
fore  the  crowd  as  the  band  played  a coronation  selection  in  honor  of  the  newly

minute  preparations  in  a flurry  of  excitement. 


During  the  half  time  ceremonies,  Mr.  Phil  Crawford,  President  of

Junior  Class  Proved  Its  Skill  By 


This  year,  for  the  first  time,  the  Junior  Class  pre- 
sented its  class  play.  Under  the  skilled  direction  of  Miss 
Mary  Litts  Burton,  the  talented  juniors  performed  before 
the  student  body  in  Thornton  Wilder's  Our  Town. 

Set  in  Grover's  Corners  in  the  early  1 900's,  Act  I of 
Our  Town  told  of  the  daily  lives  of  ordinary  people  in  a 
small  town.  Act  II  represented  love  and  marriage  in  the 
rural  community  while  Act  III  dealt  with  death  among 
its  citizens.  This  simple  play  typified  the  lives  of  the 
average  American  family. 

Alleghany's  gifted  juniors  proved  themselves  capable 
of  a serious  undertaking  and,  through  the  combined  ef- 
fort of  the  entire  junior  class,  this  project  was  a complete 
success.

As  the  dreams  of  Christmas  became  a reality,  soft 
lights,  lovely  music,  and  beautiful  girls  combined  to 
make  Alleghany's  Christmas  Formal  of  1966  seem 
like  a misty  fantasy. 

In  the  center  of  the  gym  was  a gaily  decorated 
Christmas  tree  accented  by  muted  colored  flowing 
streamers  transforming  the  gym  into  a vision  of  love- 
liness for  this  festive  occasion.  Girls  glided  by  on

clouds  of  happiness  and  with  stars  in  their  eyes  as 
they  danced  to  the  music  of  the  Fabulous  Cobras  for 
this  most  important  event  of  the  season. 

Enchanted  by  the  flowing  music  and  soft  lights, 
happy  couples  silently  wished  they  could  have  danced 
longer  as  the  Christmas  Formal  drew  to  a close  and 
marked  another  memorable  evening  for  all  those  who 
attended.

Roger  Daniel,  Betty  Bush,  Karen  Patrick,  and  Hiawatha  Nicely  paused  before  the  trophy  case 
during  intermission. 


Dancing  patterns  were  complete- 
ly reversed  as  students  followed 
the  calls  of  square  dancing. 


Students  Went  “Country”  For  Sadie  Hawkins 


Patterns  of  dancing,  dating,  and  dressing  were 
completely  reversed  for  Alleghany's  annual  Sadie 
Hawkins  Dance.  Boys  were  again  reminded  how  it 
feels  to  worry  about  a date  as  they  anxiously  waited 
to  be  patched  by  the  girls.  This  new  custom  consisted 
of  a girl  and  boy  wearing  identical  patches  to  let  the 
other  students  know  that  they  had  a date. 

Admission  for  this  totally  different  dance  was  set 
at  one  quarter,  one  dime,  two  nickels,  and  thirteen 
pennies.  Accenting  this  zany  mood,  the  gym  was 


decorated  in  typical  barnyard  fashion.  Dancing  did 
an  about-face  as  students  vainly  tried  to  keep  in 
step  to  the  calls  of  square  dances. 

Highlighting  the  evening  was  the  selection  of  the 
two  best  dressed  people  in  Dogpatch.  Elvin  Nicely 
and  Mary  Kathryne  Wicker  were  chosen  Little  Abner 
and  Daisy  Mae,  and  embarrassingly  displayed  their 
gifts  to  the  rest  of  the  citizens  of  Dogpatch.  All  those 
who  participated  in  this  unique  dance  certainly  had 
an  unforgettable  time.

Via  and  Brenda  Hayslett  seemed  to  enjoy  the  music  of  the  Rising  Tides. 


Highlighting  the  Valentine  spirit  at 
ACHS  was  the  Sweetheart  Dance  spon- 
sored annually  by  the  Senior  Tri-Hi-Y.  In 
keeping  with  the  theme,  "Song  in  My 
Heart,"  all  the  decorations  were  done  in 
forms  of  sheet  music.  This  unique  idea  cer- 
tainly added  an  extra  something  special  to 
the  occasion.  Students  danced  to  the  rhyth- 
mic tunes  of  The  Rising  Tides  as  they  pro- 
vided many  varied  musical  selections. 

The  main  event  of  the  evening  was  the 
selection  of  the  king  and  queen.  Connie 
Shires,  chosen  queen,  was  presented  with 
a bouquet  of  a dozen  long-stemmed  red 
roses,  and  John  Swartz,  named  king,  was 
presented  with  a red  rose  boutonniere.  Fol- 
lowing the  presentation  was  the  Queen's 
Dance  honoring  the  newly  chosen  king  and 
queen  and  their  court.  All  those  who  at- 
tended this  event  certainly  spent  an  enjoy- 
able evening.

"All  aboard  for  fun!"  This  was  the 
mood  established  as  the  curtain  rose  on 
Alleghany's  Senior  Class  Play,  TAMMY 
TELL  ME  TRUE. 

Students  and  advisors  admired  their 
art  work  as  scenery  changes  set  the  ap- 
propriate mood  for  the  actors.  Ingenuity 
was  apparent  as  the  audience  viewed  a 
shanty  boat,  a gigantic  tree,  and  a col- 
lege campus. 

Promotion  for  the  play  consisted  of 
posters  placed  in  advantageous  spots  in 
the  school  and  community,  an  appear- 
ance on  a Roanoke  TV  station,  and  an- 
nouncements appearing  periodically  on 
the  local  radio  stations. 

Mary  Walton  was  a perfectly  lovely 
shanty  boat  girl  who  planned  to  go  to 
college.  David  Smith  and  Allan  Tucker 
were  quite  capable  in  their  roles  of  be- 
ing Tammy's  loves.  Jim  Faidley  played 
an  incredibly  believable  role  as  grand- 
pa. He  was  a typical  corn  liquor  distiller 
of  the  South.  Betty  Miller  made  an  out- 
standing transformation  from  a sad  old 
woman  to  a lively  Shanty-boat  Annie. 

Working  together  as  a team,  the  var- 
ious committees  with  the  help  of  Mrs. 
Jonas,  Mrs.  Bush  and  Mrs.  Barber 
achieved  a production  which  made  the 
audience  laugh  with  jubilance,  cry  with 
sorrow,  and  rejoice  with  a "happily  ever 
after"  ending. 


TAMMY  TELL  ME  TRUE 
Was  Tremendous  Success 


Mrs.  Call  (Betty  Miller)  told  Tammy  (Mary  Tammy  (Mary  Walton)  told  Grandpa  (Jim  Faidley)  of  her  new  schedule  and  her  hope-

proudly  pronounced  herself  "Shanty-boat

1967  Senior  Banquet  Was  A Memorable  Evening 


ACHS's  senior  class  held  its 
annual  banquet  at  the  Moose 
Lodge.  This  was  one  time  that 
the  seniors  had  an  opportunity 
to  gather  and  relax  with  their 
classmates. 

Beginning  the  evening  was  a 
buffet  dinner  which  included 
a variety  of  delicious  foods. 
Later,  the  students  danced  to 
the  music  of  The  Mystery  Men. 

Because  it  was  meant  for 
seniors  only,  this  banquet  had 
a special  significance.  Al- 
though it  was  a time  of  fun  and 
relaxation,  the  students  rea- 
lized that  it  meant  that  their 
high  school  years  were  drawing 
to  a close.  As  students  depart- 
ed from  their  final  social  func- 
tion they  understood  that  this 
had  been  a time  to  reestab- 
lish forgotten  friendships  and 
strengthen  old  ones. 


Rebekah  Fridley,  Virgil  Lewis,  and  Max- 
ine Combs  relaxed  during  dinner. 


Scott  Stapleton  and  Thaddea  Chamberlain,  Steve  Byerly  and  Barbara  Ann  Fisher  looked  for-  Patsy  Nicely  and  Anthony  Salyers,  sen- 
ward  to  an  enjoyable  evening  as  they  entered  the  Moose  Lodge  for  the  Senior  Banquet.  ior  class  president,  enjoyed  a delightful 

dinner  at  the  head  table  with  Mr.  Duff, 
senior  class  sponsor. 


56 


As  Students  Gathered  With  Their  Classmates 


An  enjoyable  atmosphere  and  a pleasing  dinner  combined  to  make  the  Senior  Banquet  a 
memorable  evening. 

After  dinner,  Paul  Warwick  and  Paula  Sizemore;  Steve  Byerly  and  Barbara  Ann  Fisher; 
Paula  Sue  Traylor  and  Christer  Ivarsson;  and  Susan  Loomis  and  Jim  Faidley  enjoyed 
dancing  to  the  music  of  The  Mystery  Men. 


Juniors  Worked  Frantically  To  Complete  Prom 


Donna  Bruffey,  Jennifer  Wright,  Pauline  Noel,  Kathy  Wright,  Donna  Booze,  and  Elvin  Nicely 
painted  frantically  to  complete  the  steamboat  mural  while  other  junior  class  members  prepared 
to  hang  streamers.

1967  Prom  Theme  was  “ Isle  Of  Enchantment” 


mmt 


if*/: 


Once  again,  the  juniors  worked  many  long  hours  to  favor  the  senior 
class  with  a prom  thct  would  long  be  remembered.  Many  various 
committees  were  set  up  to  cover  all  aspects  of  this  important  dance. 
There  was  a theme  to  be  decided  upon,  painting  to  be  done,  props  to 
be  built,  and  entertainment  to  be  planned.  Despite  all  this  work,  how- 
ever, the  members  of  the  junior  class  enjoyed  every  minute  of  the 
time  and  energy  they  spent  on  this  prom. 

Girls  in  long,  flowing  gowns  with  dreamy  looks  in  their  eyes  and 
boys  in  handsome  dinner  jackets  stopped  to  admire  the  trophy  case  as 
they  were  introduced  to  the  theme  of  the  prom,  "Isle  of  Enchant- 
ment." Fishnets,  sand,  and  seashells  combined  to  set  the  mood  for 
this  unique  theme.  Authenticity  was  prevalent  from  the  moment  of 
entrance. 

Stepping  into  the  tropical  paradise,  the  couples  were  greeted  by 
gay  Hawaiian  girls  who  presented  colorful  leis  to  each  one  as  a sign 
of  friendliness  and  welcome.  Accenting  the  theme  was  a realistically 
constructed  grass  hut  and  a colorful  fountain  complete  with  small 
pebbles  and  blossoming  flowers. 


Danny  Wolfe  and  Mary  Walton  paused  before 
the  trophy  case  to  admire  the  entrance  to  the 
prom. 


Eva  Miller  and  Jimmy  Mays  stopped  at  the  thatched  hut  to  chat  with  Keith  Scruggs  and  Sherry 
Howard  about  the  authenticity  of  the  prom. 


Julianne  Prishtash  and  Steve  Crawford,  Chipper  Farmer  and  Karen  Johnson, 
Paul  Warwick  and  Patsy  Nicely,  and  Liz  Patterson  and  Victor  Fury  danced  to 
the  music  of  the  Gene  Thomas  Orchestra  during  the  Senior  Dance. 


Solemn  feelings  came  over  the  seniors  as  each  one  took  his 
place  for  the  Grand  March.  Senior  and  junior  class  officers  led 
this  stately  march  as  the  remaining  members  of  the  senior  class 
completed  it.  At  the  end  of  the  March,  there  was  a special  dance 
meant  exclusively  for  those  who  took  part  in  the  Grand  March. 

It  was  evident  that  much  planning  and  practice  went  into  the 
entertainment.  Eight  junior  girls  proved  their  ability  as  Hawaiian 
dancers  as  they  presented  three  traditional  hula  dances.  Tommy 
Herald  added  a bit  of  comedy  as  he  proved  his  gracefulness  by  his 
rendition  of  a very  "serious"  hula  dance. 

To  the  delight  of  all  present,  Gale  Thrasher  and  Cody  Ross  were 
crowned  Queen  and  King  of  the  prom.  Donna  Simpson  and  Max 
Shawver  were  chosen  by  their  classmates  to  reign  as  Princess  and 
Prince.  Each  one  was  crowned  with  a jeweled  crown  discovered  in 
a buried  treasure  chest. 


Junior  girls  cFiarmed  the  audience  with  an 
authentic  hula  dance.

As  The  Prom  Drew  To  A 
Close,  The  Seniors  All 
Treasured  Its  Last  Moments 


There  were  many  mixed  emotions  as  all  the 
couples  departed  from  this  glorious  "Isle  of  En- 
chantment." Members  of  the  junior  class  certainly 
shared  a thrilling  sense  of  accomplishment  from 
presenting  such  a lovely  prom,  which  the  seniors 
left  with  a bit  of  sorrow  in  their  hearts.  Although 
they  had  had  a wonderful  time,  the  seniors  real- 
ized that  this  was  their  last  high  school  prom. 
They  were  sure  to  treasure  these  precious  mo- 
ments for  the  rest  of  their  lives. 


C.  L.  Hylton  and  Donna  Simpson;  Anthony  Saylers  and  Patsy  Nicely; 
and  Connie  Shires  and  Allen  Rogers  were  served  refreshments  as 
they  were  entertained  by  members  of  the  junior  class. 


David  Rollison  and  Sarah  Akers  reminisced  over  the  wonderful  evening  as  they  left  their 
final  prom. 


Twelve  Girls  Vied 
For  Miss  A leova 


One  of  the  most  outstanding  moments  of  the 
school  year,  both  for  the  student  body  and  the  girls 
involved,  was  the  selection  of  Miss  Alcova. 

Members  of  the  senior  class  nominated  twelve 
girls  who  best  represented  Alleghany  in  all  as- 
pects of  school  life.  In  addition,  these  girls  must 
have  possessed  such  qualities  as  poise,  personal- 
ity, attractiveness,  and  knowledge  of  current 
events.  Of  all  those  girls  nominated,  the  twelve 
who  received  the  most  votes  were  chosen  to  vie 
for  the  coveted  title  of  Miss  Alcova  of  1967. 

These  twelve  girls  were  then  screened  by  a panel 
of  unbiased  judges,  two  who  were  faculty  members 
and  three  who  were  qualified  residents  of  the  com- 
munity. Contestants  were  asked  various  questions 
from  the  areas  of  school  spirit,  dating  habits,  cur- 
rent events,  poise,  and  general  character.  Al- 
though the  choice  was  a hard  one,  the  judges 
made  their  decision  after  much  careful  considera- 
tion and  deliberation. 


Betty  Bush,  Patsy  Nicely,  Paula  Sue  Traylor,  Connie  Shires  and  Mary  Kathryne  Wicker  showed 
the  exhilaration  and  joy  which  came  with  being  tapped  for  Miss  Alcova. 


In  honor  of  Miss  Alcova, 
a special  assembly  was 
held.  In  keeping  with  tra- 
dition, the  future  mem- 
bers of  the  annual  staff 
tapped  the  runners-up  with 
roses,  while  the  present 
editor  presented  a bouquet 
of  a dozen  long-stemmed 
red  roses  to  Paula  Sue 
Traylor,  Miss  Alcova  of 
1967. 


Betty  Bush,  Jeanne  Walton,  Darlene  Tucker,  Paula  Sizemore,  Bobbie  Johnson,  Donna  Kelly, 
Paula  Sue  Traylor,  Gale  Thrasher,  Mary  Kathryne  Wicker,  Connie  Shires,  Mary  Ellen  Byers, 
and  Patsy  Nicely  tried  to  relax  before  their  interview. 


Mrs.  White,  Mr.  Anderson,  Mr.  Fridley,  Miss  Pauley,  and  Mrs.  Warlither  looked  over  some  of 
the  questions  which  they  would  ask  the  contestants.

the  school  in  the  state  competition.  During 
her  |unior  year,  she  was  an  exchange  stu- 
dent to  Cold  Springs  Harbor  High  School 
in  Long  Island,  New  York.  She  also  won 
the  DAR  citizenship  award,  the  senior 
citizenship  award  for  girls,  and  the  choir 
award  for  being  pianist. 


MARY  KATHRYNE  WICKER

tapped  with  six  red  roses.  Mary  Kathryne  serv- 
ed on  the  Alcova  staff  during  her  senior  year 
and  had  a leading  role  in  the  Senior  Play.  Also, 
she  was  a finalist  in  two  local  beauty  contests. 
In  addition,  she  was  very  active  in  the  Latin 
Club.  Mary  Kathryne,  who  had  been  at  ACHS 
only  two  years,  held  many  major  offices  in  the 
high  school  from  which  she  transferred. 

Patsy  Nicely  was  tapped  third  runner-up.

team  and  won  the  award  for  the  most  im- 
proved player.  She  was  in  the  Senior  Play  and

cheerleader  this  year.  She  was  chosen  Home- 
coming Queen  for  1966  and  was  first  runner- 
up  to  the  Dogwood  Festival  Queen. 


BETTY  BUSH 


David  Smith  Was  Chosen  By  The  Senior  Class 


David  Smith  was  chosen  "Boy  of  the  Year"  by  the  members  of  the  senior 
class.  He  was  presented  an  engraved  trophy  by  Mary  Kathryne  Wicker  dur- 
ing a special  assembly. 


68 


For  the  first  time  this  year,  the  senior  class 
of  ACHS  voted  for  the  one  boy  who  best  repre- 
sented their  school,  and  especially,  their  senior 
class.  Basing  their  opinions  on  the  outstanding 
qualities  of  character,  leadership,  sportsman- 
ship, and  scholarship,  the  members  of  the  sen- 
ior class  used  their  best  judgment  when  mak- 
ing this  important  decision. 

Through  the  popular  vote  of  his  classmates, 
David  Smith  was  chosen  as  Alleghany's  first 
"Boy  of  the  Year."  In  his  roles  both  at  school 
and  in  the  community,  he  has  exhibited  many 
outstanding  qualities.  He  was  not  afraid  to  be 
an  individual,  nor  did  he  depend  upon  the 
crowd  for  his  standards  and  his  way  of  life. 
His  sportsmanship  and  athletic  abilities  were 
proved  many  times  by  his  active  participation 
in  the  fields  of  football,  track,  and  wrestling. 
Scholarship  spoke  for  itself,  as  he  graduated 
an  honor  student  of  the  Class  of  '67. 

With  the  selection  of  the  first  "Boy  of  the 
Year,"  a new  tradition  was  set  at  ACHS. 


As  a member  of  the  football  team,  David  (40)  served 
as  a defensive  halfback  for  two  years. 


To  Be  Alleghany’s  First  “ Boy  Of  The  Year” 


One  of  David's  responsibilities  as  editor  of  the 
Alcova  was  presenting  the  dedication  pages  to 
Mr.  Charles  Walker  during  a special  assembly. 


David  proved  his  dramatic  ability  by  playing  a lead  role  (Pete  Brent)  in  the  Senior 
Class  Play.  Pete  was  Tammy's  (Mary  Walton)  own  true  love  and  her  main  obiective 
for  attending  college.

Becky  A nderson  Received 
Valedictory  A ward  For 
Academic  Performance 


Finally,  seniors  faced  that  all  important 
occasion — graduation.  There  were  three 
periods  of  time  before  them  at  once.  First, 
there  was  the  present.  This  time  was  filled 
with  the  preparation  for  the  ceremony, 
Senior  Play,  Senior  Banquet,  Junior-Senior 
Prom,  and  final  exams.  Throughout  the 
present  activities,  seniors  looked  forward 
to  their  individual  futures. 


Becky  Anderson  received  the  valedictory  award  from  Mr.  Holbert  for  her 
outstanding  academic  performance. 


Mr.  Cvizic  read  a letter  of  congratulations  from 
President  Johnson  to  the  graduates  of  ACHS.

Seniors  Received  Their  Final  Report  Cards 


Each  senior  realized  that  Alleghany  was  merely  a 
stepping  stone  into  the  future.  College,  trade  school, 
military  service  or  immediate  employment — these 
were  among  the  many  decisions  which  faced  seniors. 
No  crystal  ball  could  be  used  to  predict  their  future 
success  and  happiness.  Their  vocational  choice  was 
one  of  their  most  important  decisions  and  they  real- 
ized it  was  their  decision  alone.  As  the  moment  of 
graduation  heightened,  all  seniors  reviewed  the  past 
years  spent  at  Alleghany.  They  reviewed  the  knowl- 
edge gained,  friends  made,  and  tasks  finished 
throughout  their  learning  years  at  ACHS.  As  his  class- 


mates received  their  diplomas,  each  looked  with  sor- 
row, realizing  that  this  meant  the  eventual  separation 
of  a group  that  seemed  so  compatible.  Each  senior 
knew  this  group  as  the  "Class  of  '67"  and  treasured 
his  place  among  the  other  members. 

Turning  the  tassels  brought  mixed  emotions  to  the 
new  graduates.  These  ranged  from  wide  smiles  of  ac- 
complishment to  tears  of  joy  and  sorrow.  As  they 
marched  out  of  the  auditorium,  they  realized  that  they 
had  just  stepped  into  their  long  awaited  future,  now 
making  it  their  present. 


Honor  graduates  Becky  Anderson,  Donna  Kelly,  David  Smith,  Connie  Shires,  Mary  Walton  and 
Bruce  Kesterson  lead  the  seniors  as  they  marched  from  the  auditorium  for  the  final  time. 


After  graduation,  Mike  Via  received  his  final  report  card  while  Loretta  Hepler  waited  to  turn 
in  her  cap  and  gown. 


Sports 


Hiawatha  Nicely  has  a chance  to  show  individual  ability  while  remain- 
ing a member  of  the  baseball  team. 


Alleghany's  students  show  pride  in  their  school's  athletic  teams  through 
the  enthusiasm  they  exhibit  at  pep  rallies. 


Boost  Student  Morale  And  Pride  In  Alleghany 


At  Alleghany,  six  major  sports  are  offered  on  levels 
designed  to  reach  all  students.  There  are  athletics  in 
which  teamwork  is  an  essential  component,  and  there 
are  athletic  activities  intended  to  display  the  individ- 
ual's ability.  Students  who  engage  in  either  type  of 
sports  learn  that  as  individuals  they  contribute  to  the 
teamwork  needed  for  victory  while  team  membership 
in  turn  aids  in  the  development  of  individual  skills. 

For  the  team-minded  student,  Alleghany  offers 
football,  basketball,  baseball,  and  cheerleading.  There 
are  eighth  grade,  J.V.  and  varsity  squads  formed  in 
three  of  these  fields  (excepting  baseball)  in  order  to 
cover  every  age  student.  There  has  been  a girls'  bas- 
ketball team  formed  to  suit  the  needs  of  that  particu- 
lar group,  also.  Teamwork  in  all  of  these  sports  is  one 
of  the  decisive  factors  which  determine  the  success  or 
failure  of  a season's  labors. 

At  the  same  time  the  team  sports  are  in  full  swing, 
the  varied  athletic  program  at  ACHS  offers  the  in- 
dividual sports  to  provide  equivalent  opportunities  for 
all  students.  Individual  sports  include  cross-country. 


wrestling,  and  track.  In  these  three  fields,  boys  of  all 
grade  levels  are  permitted  to  attempt  to  make  the 
team.  Wins  and  losses  are  determined  by  the  individ- 
uals' abilities  and  scores.  Teamwork  is  not  necessarily 
the  essential  ingredient  for  success  in  these  fields  be- 
cause each  athlete  works  on  his  own  to  improve  the 
total  team  score.  Performances  are  individual  and  not 
a result  of  team  cooperation.  One  athlete  may  compile 
an  impressive  record  and  win  many  honors,  but  the 
team  may  not  experience  a successful  season. 

Obviously  ACHS  employs  a successful  athletic  pro- 
gram due  to  the  wide  range  of  sports  offered.  Athletes 
who  become  proficient  in  an  individual  sport  often 
find  that  they  can  contribute  vitally  to  a team  sport, 
while  the  knowledge  gained  through  working  with  the 
team  can  result  in  an  athlete's  acquiring  an  outstand- 
ing individual  skill.  Enthusiastic  participation  is  im- 
portant in  every  aspect  of  athletics  because  it  event- 
ually leads  to  the  development  of  the  whole  personali- 
ty of  the  individual  through  his  contribution  to  the 
team  or  his  development  of  a singular  talent. 


Inexperienced  Colts  Had  A Rebudding  Year

In  the  season  opener  against  V.S.D.B., 
a surprisingly  strong  Alleghany  team 
rolled  over  the  Cardinals  by  a margin  of 
36-6.  Scoring  almost  at  will,  the  Colts 
showed  more  power  than  had  been  ex- 
pected. Continuing  their  winning  ways, 
the  Colts  downed  Riverheads  the  next 
week.  John  Bradley  scored  two  touchdowns 
to  lead  the  Colts  to  a 20-7  win.  Alleghany 
was  toppled  from  the  unbeaten  ranks 
when  James  River  scored  a surprising  28-0 
victory.  Injury  and  inexperience  took  their 
toll  as  the  Colts  were  defeated  by  the 
powerful  Clifton  Forge  Mountineers.  Al- 
leghany stayed  with  the  Mounties  for  a 
quarter,  but  the  Mountineers  then  pulled 
away.  David  Smith  scored  Allegheny's  only 
touchdown  by  catching  a pass  from  Blair 
Wilhelm  and  running  52  yards  to  paydirt. 
The  team  put  forth  a good  effort  and 
Roger  Daniel  and  Pete  Nicely  were  cited 
for  their  defensive  efforts.  Hoping  to  even 
up  their  record,  the  Colts  were  again  de- 
feated. 

John  Bradley,  after  taking  a handoff  from  quarterback  Blair  Wilhelm,  ran  around 
the  right  end  for  a touchdown  against  Riverheads.

Players  Were  Sidelined  By  Numerous  Injuries 


Coach  Jonas,  the  head  coach,  gave  last  minute  instructions  to  Jerome  Davis,  David  Smith, 
Bobby  Irvine,  Steve  Crawford,  Edward  Smith. 


Alleghany  Colts  David  Smith,  Roger  Daniel,  Joe  Wood,  Jerome  Davis,  and  Steve  Crawford 
made  a valiant,  but  vain  effort  to  keep  B.  C.  Williams  of  Clifton  Forge  from  scoring  as 
Robert  Bradley  and  William  Key  supported  B.  C.  Williams.

Powerful  Covington  Cougars  And  Clifton  Forge 

Buffalo  Gap  handed  the  Colts  a heartbreaking 
14-13  loss.  John  Bradley  scored  the  lone  Alle- 
ghany touchdown  in  the  Alleghany-Fort  Defiance 
game  as  the  Colts  made  a vain  effort  to  get  back 
on  the  winning  track.  At  halftime  Betty  Bush  was 
crowned  Homecoming  Queen  with  the  score  read- 
ing 7-7  A third  quarter  touchdown  by  the  Indians 
ended  the  Colt's  hopes  of  a victory.  Six  members 
of  the  Alleghany  team,  sidelined  with  injuries, 
had  to  watch  while  the  Covington  Cougars  raced 
past  the  Colts  (39-0).  It  proved  to  be  an  easy  vic- 
tory for  the  powerful  Cougars,  but  the  Colts  never 
gave  up  and  battled  throughout  the  contest.  Roger 
Daniel  was  the  best  runner  for  the  Colts.  In  their 
meeting  with  Rockbridge,  Alleghany  was  again 
unable  to  score  a victory.  Scoring  a 28-0  victory, 
the  Rebels  defeated  a Colt  team  that  was  not  able 
to  generate  an  attack.  Wilson  Memorial  handed 
the  Colts  their  final  defeat  by  scoring  a 27-6  win. 
Alleghany  managed  to  get  on  the  scoreboard  dur- 
ing the  fourth  quarter.  Blair  Wilhelm  tossed  a 
six  yard  pass  to  Steve  Crawford  for  the  touchdown 
During  this  rebuilding  season,  inexperience  and 
injuries  played  a major  part  in  the  2-7  record  but 
the  Colts  have  bright  hopes  for  the  future. 


Pete  Nicely  and  Edward  Smith  tried  to  bring  down  B.  C.  Williams  of 
Clifton  Forge  while  Jerome  Davis  rushed  in  to  help. 


John  Bradley  was  tackled  by  Theodore  Mader  and 
Gary  Long  of  Riverheads  as  Coach  Poffer,  the 
backfield  coach,  and  the  rest  of  the  team  looked  on 
from  the  sidelines.

Mountineers  Defeated  Alleghany  Colts 


Blair  Wilhelm  rolled  around  the  right  end  while  Merritt  Belew  and  Steve  Shrum  of  V.S.D.B. 
attempted  to  bring  him  down.

Alleghany's  Junior  Varsity  football  team  compiled  an  impressive 
4-1-1  record  They  got  their  season  off  to  a grand  start  by  beating 
Clifton  Forge  High  School  12-0,  but  at  a later  date  Alleghany  was 
defeated  by  Clifton  Forge  by  a score  of  19-0.  With  Covington  High 
School,  the  game  was  a 6-6  tie,  but  Alleghany  got  their  revenge  two 
weeks  later  by  beating  Covington  7-0.  James  River  was  trounced  by 
the  J.V.  Colts,  and  after  a close,  tough  game  Valley  was  downed  by  a 
score  of  13-12.  These  young  griders  gained  valuable  experience  to 
be  used  next  year  on  the  Varsity  team. 

Success  was  the  main  thought  of  all  eighth  grade  football  players. 
In  their  first  year  of  competition,  the  "Baby  Colts"  compiled  a 2-1-0 
record  James  River  fell  to  the  Colts  on  two  occasions  by  scores  of 
18-6  and  26-0.  Lord  Botetourt  handed  Alleghany  their  only  disap- 
pointing game.  Scoring  a touchdown  in  the  last  two  seconds,  Lord 
Botetourt  tied  the  game  (6-6).  After  a successful  season  the  "Baby 
Colts"  are  looking  forward  to  playing  Junior  Varsity  Football.

Girls  ’ Team  Showed  Good  Sportsmanship 


This  year  Alleghany's  Girls'  Basketball  team  had 
two  new  coaches,  Mrs.  Kumm  and  Miss  Monroe.  They 
led  the  team  through  a building  season.  All  the  girls 
learned  the  skills  required  in  basketball,  sportsman- 
ship, and  the  true  value  of  friendship.  Every  girl  show- 
ed much  loyalty  and  team  spirit  despite  being  on  the 
losing  side  of  the  ledger.  Alleghany  played  Valley, 
James  River,  Clifton  Forge,  and  Milboro,  each  two 
times.  Valley  defeated  Alleghany  by  a lopsided  score 
of  39-13  and  James  River  downed  Alleghany  47-27. 
In  a close  game  with  Milboro,  Alleghany  lost  by  a 
score  of  22-19.  Clifton  Forge  trampled  over  the 
"Fillies"  in  a disappointing  74-26  game.  In  return 
games  with  the  four  teams,  the  girls  were  again  un- 
able to  win.  Valley  and  James  River  defeated  Allegh- 
any by  scores  of  47-19  and  50-18,  respectively.  The 
"Fillies"  were  downed  by  Milboro  (39-21)  and  Clifton 
Forge  (30-18).  Returning  members  of  the  team  are 
looking  forward  to  a better  season  next  year.

Cheerleaders  Presented  Skits  In  The  Pep  Rallies 


Vicki  Reed,  Jean  Shawver,  Peggy  Hylton,  and  Phyllis  Boerner  entertained  the  student  body 
with  a delightful  skit  before  the  Clifton  Forge  Alleghany  game. 

Peggy  Hylton,  Vicki  Reed,  Carol  Thompson,  Debbie  Bennett,  Phyllis  Boerner,  Jean  Shawver, 
Betty  Bush  and  Susan  Persinger  displayed  much  skill  and  precision  in  the  pep  rallies.

Girls  Instilled  Spirit  Into  The  Student  Body 


Phyllis  Boerner  showed  pep  and  spirit  when  cheering  at 
the  girls'  basketball  games. 


Carol  Thompson  cheered  the  boys  on  during  the  football 
games. 


Alleghany's  cheerleaders  were  the 
core  of  the  Colt  spirit  and  enthusiasm. 
Nine  girls  attended  a cheerleading 
camp  for  all  the  girls  in  the  state  dur- 
ing the  summer.  After  school  every 
day  these  girls,  headed  by  Betty  Bush, 
practiced  in  order  to  teach  the  newest 
cheers  and  chants  to  the  student  body. 
By  displaying  school  spirit  at  all  times, 
the  cheerleaders  instilled  more  spirit 
and  loyalty  in  the  students.  During 
games  that  we  were  losing,  through 
the  tireless  efforts  of  the  cheerleaders, 
the  spectators  always  remained  behind 
the  boys.  By  faithfully  cheering  at  the 
Varsity  football  and  basketball  away 
games,  they  encouraged  every  team 
member  to  try  harder  to  win  for  Al- 
leghany. Game  attendance  was  in- 
creased by  pep  rallies  and  skits  before 
the  important  games.  Posters  and  ban- 
ners for  the  halls  were  made  during 
the  entire  year.  Win  or  lose,  the  Al- 
leghany morale  was  kept  up  by  the 
cheerleaders.

Keith  Scruggs 


Was  Top  Scorer  And  Rebounder 


Determination  and  unfailing 
spirit  carried  the  Varsity  basket- 
ball team  through  the  long  season. 
Faced  with  a rebuilding  season, 
Coach  Walker's  team  finished 
with  a 7-9  record.  Keith  Scruggs 
was  the  leading  scorer  and  leading 
rebounder.  In  the  season  opener, 
James  River  defeated  Alleghany 
(63-31),  but  Alleghany  came  back 
to  defeat  Riverheads  (65-53). 
ACHS  downed  Rockbridge  twice 
by  scores  of  47-45  and  49-39.  Arch 
rivals  Covington  and  Clifton  Forge 
both  defeated  Alleghany  by  scores 
of  69-53  and  79-57,  respectively. 
In  the  next  four  games  the  Colts 
were  unable  to  score  a win  Alle- 
ghany fell  to  the  power  of  James 
River  (68-51),  Buffalo  Gap  (63- 
50),  Covington  (87-62),  and  Wil- 
son Memorial  (80-54).  Alleghany's

bier  Military  School  won  by  a score  of  47-33.  Al-

Noel,  Mike  Warwick,  John  Thomas  McCaleb,  Bobbie  Lawler,  Gil- 
bert Baker  and  Gene  Haskins. 


Playing  a twelve  game  schedule,  the  eighth  grade 
team  learned  the  skills  and  rules  of  basketball  under 
the  guidance  of  Coach  Jefferies.  They  also  displayed 
the  Colt  spirit  and  loyalty.  Throughout  the  4-8  sea- 
son, the  baby  Colts  constantly  showed  good  sports- 
manship. 

Alleghany  defeated  one  of  their  arch  rivals  Clifton 
Forge,  by  a score  of  26-23,  but  Covington  was  able  to 
defeat  the  baby  Colts  33-39.  Lord  Botetourt's  strong

team  by  scores  of  46-21,  and  53-34.  In  a close  game 
with  Covington,  Alleghany  won  by  a score  of  31-28.

downed  Lord  Botetourt  (33-28),  but  in  the  last  game 
James  River  edged  past  Alleghany  by  a score  of  35-34.

Enthusiasm  of  the  underclassmen  was  ever-present 
in  Alleghany's  Junior  Varsity  Cheerleaders.  Each 
member  of  the  cheering  squad  first  had  to  display 
her  talents  to  the  student  body.  After  the  elation  of 
being  chosen  subsided,  she  realized  the  amount  of 
work  that  was  before  her. 

These  cheerleaders  continued  their  practice  ses- 
sions until  the  close  of  school  and  began  again  before 


school  reopened  in  the  fall.  All  their  practice  paid 
off  when  their  precision  and  spirit  resulted  in  en- 
thusiastic cheering  for  the  JV  football  and  basketball 
squads  from  all  the  Colt  fans. 

Leading  JV  pep  rallies,  perfecting  skits  for  presen- 
tation during  pep  rallies,  cheering  at  the  games  and 
representing  ACHS  — all  were  accomplished  with 
spirit  by  the  Junior  Varsity  cheering  squad.

Jocelyn  Burch,  Libby  Barineau,  and  Debbie  Fore  practiced  to  get  their  movements  together. 


Coming  together  from  the  various  elementary 
schools  as  a group  for  the  first  time,  the  eighth  grade 
class  was  formed.  This  formation  resulted  in  the 
creation  of  their  individual  eighth  grade  teams.  Of 
course,  the  bouncy  eighth  grade  cheerleaders  put  the 
vitality  of  the  "Baby  Colts"  into  every  cheer. 

Eighth  graders  often  had  their  individual  pep  ral- 
lies. Yells  echoed  through  the  halls  as  each  cheer- 
leader accomplished  the  task  of  instilling  spirit  and 
drive  in  the  students  and  in  the  players. 

Even  in  moments  of  crushing  defeat  the  "Baby 
Colts"  cheerleaders  kindled  spirit  into  the  hearts  of 
the  players.  Good  sportsmanship  was  also  one  of  the 
main  drives  of  the  eighth  grade  cheering  squad. 

At  the  end  of  the  athletic  season,  these  cheer- 
leaders put  away  their  uniforms  and  anxiously  began 
working  for  a place  on  the  Junior  Varsity  cheering 
squad. 


Jocelyn  Burch,  Debbie  Fore,  and  Libby  Barineau  tried  to  work  out

For  the  first  time  in  three  years,  the  ACHS  wrestlers 
had  a winning  season.  After  being  unable  to  win  a match 
for  two  seasons,  the  Colts  finished  with  an  impressive  5-1 
record.  Coach  Bill  Jonas  made  his  first  season  as  wres- 
tling instructor  one  to  be  remembered.  Alleghany  got  their 
wrestling  season  off  to  a fine  start  by  beating  the  VSDB 
Jayvees  29-23.  Encouraged  by  this  win,  the  Alleghany 
matmen  defeated  the  Covington  Cougars  by  a count  of 
35-19.  Continuing  to  improve,  the  Colts  won  a 35-18  de- 
cision over  Fishburne  Military  Academy.  Alleghany  suf- 
fered their  first  and  only  loss  at  the  hands  of  a strong 
VSDB  Varsity  team  (36-8).  To  finish  their  great  season, 
the  Colts  came  from  behind  to  again  defeat  the  Coving- 
ton Cougars  (26-24). 

Gary  Bush,  one  of  Alleghany's  best  wrestlers  this  sea- 
son, won  five  matches  and  lost  only  one.  His  overall 
record  for  three  seasons  is  12-2,  Only  two  members  will 
not  be  returning  next  year.  This  year  the  Colts  surprised 
many  by  their  strength.  Returning  matmen  have  high 
hopes  for  next  year's  team.

Baseball  Team  Finished  With  9-4  Record

ning the  next  three  games.  Alleghany  beat

ped them  3-0,  and  Rockbridge  was  also  unable

feated by  Clifton  Forge  but  they  finished  their 
season  by  winning  their  last  two  games.  VSDB 
was  overpowered  by  a score  of  6-0  and  Rock- 
bridge was  out  scored  5-2.  Although  a particu- 
larly rainy  season  caused  several  postpone- 
ments, the  Colt  spirit  was  not  in  the  least 
dampened.  Coaches  and  returning  players  an- 
xiously await  next  season. 


Jonathan  Williams  tried  to  get  back  on  first  before  Cov- 
ington's first  baseman,  Greg  Reynolds,  could  tag  him  out.

Encourage  Leadership  And  Responsibility 


Each  year,  mare  and  more  students  participate  in 
extra-curricular  activities  at  Alleghany  County  High 
School.  By  taking  part  in  these  organizations  an  in- 
dividual is  brought  out.  Frequently  classroom  activi- 
ties extend  into  these  organizations  and  help  the  stu- 
dent decide  what  his  future  career  will  be.  Such  clubs 
at  ACHS  are  the  Art  Club,  the  Distributive  Education 
Club,  the  Future  Business  Leaders  of  America,  and 
the  Future  Homemakers  of  America. 

To  encourage  foreign  languages,  there  are  Spanish 
and  Latin  clubs.  Also  there  are  clubs  for  people  with 
special  interests.  Prospective  teachers  delight  in  the 
FTA,  while  girls  who  are  thinking  of  a nursing  career 
enjoy  the  FNC. 

For  girls  and  boys  with  high  ideals  and  convictions 
there  are  the  T ri-Hi-Y  and  Key  clubs.  Boys  who  have 
won  their  athletic  letters  are  automatically  members 


of  the  Varsity  Club. 

Students  who  are  interested  in  music  are  members 
of  the  Choir  or  Band.  These  are  elective  courses.  Two 
other  electives  are  for  students  who  enjoy  journalism 
— the  ALCOVA  staff  and  the  PATRIOT  staff. 

Probably  the  most  important  organization  at  ACHS 
is  the  SCA.  This  organization  permits  the  entire  stu- 
dent body  to  express  their  opinions  through  elected 
representatives.  They  work  together  to  improve  the 
school  for  every  student. 

ACHS's  clubs  vary  their  activities  by  sponsoring 
dances,  bake  sales,  or  assembly  programs.  They  also 
go  on  field  trips,  have  guest  speakers  and  film  strips 
pertaining  to  their  particular  interests. 

It  is  no  accident  that  there  is  such  a variety  of 
group  activities  at  ACHS.  This  diversity  is  meant  to 
satisfy  the  diversity  of  individual  interests.

One  of  the  most  important  organiza- 
tions at  Alleghany  is  the  Student  Co-oper- 
ative Association.  Its  main  purpose  is  to 
find  ways  to  improve  the  school. 

Supporting  this  organization  is  every  in- 
dividual's responsibility  at  Alleghany 
County  High  School.  S.C.A.  officers  are 
elected  by  the  entire  student  body  and 
homerooms  are  represented  at  all  S.C.A. 
meetings  by  either  the  homeroom  repre- 
sentative or  an  alternate. 

One  of  the  many  activities  of  the  S.C.A. 
is  to  sell  ice  cream  during  the  four  lunch 
periods.  Usually,  this  is  done  by  John 
Bradley,  the  club  president,  or  another 
student  appointed  by  John. 

Every  spring  a campaign  and  election 
are  held  to  elect  the  new  officers.  This  is 
one  of  the  most  active  weeks  in  the  school 
year.

develop  character  and  leadership 
in  high  school  boys.  This  club  pre- 
pares its  members  to  be  good  citiz- 
ens in  later  life. 

One  of  the  many  activities  of  the 
Key  Club  is  to  compete  in  basket- 
ball with  other  area  Key  Clubs. 
This  year,  the  Key  Club  has  parti- 
cipated in  a game  against  Allegh- 
any's Senior  Tri-Hi-Y.  In  addition 
to  their  other  activities,  these  boys 
sold  birthday  calendars  to  raise 
money  for  their  various  financial 
projects. 

Under  the  guidance  of  Mr.  Leon 
Potter,  these  boys  who  possess  high 
scholastic  averages  and  outstand- 
ing qualities  of  leadership  are  bet- 
ter prepared  for  future  years.

Alleghany  County  chapter  of  the  Senior  Tri-Hi-Y 
and  in  doing  so  lead  the  members  toward  carrying 
out  their  primary  purpose:  to  create  and  maintain 
throughout  home,  school,  and  community  high 
standards  of  Christian  character. 

Senior  Tri-Hi-Y  members  collect  food,  toys,  and 
clothing  every  Thanksgiving  and  Christmas  to  dis- 
tribute to  a needy  family.  Also,  they  sponsor  the 
Sweetheart  Dance,  bake  sales,  and  sock  hops  after 
football  games 

Each  year  the  Senior  Tri-Hi-Y  sends  two  repre- 
sentatives to  the  Model  General  Assembly  in  Rich-

Paula  Sue  Traylor  and  Susan  Powell.

Junior  Tri-Hi-Y  Encourages  High  Standards 


Members  of  the  Junior  Tri-Hi-Y  are  made  up  of 
eighth,  ninth,  and  tenth  graders.  Miss  Jo  Ann  Bogan, 
sponsor,  promotes  the  club  platform  consisting  of 
clean  speech,  clean  sportsmanship,  clean  living,  and 
clean  thoughts.  They  learn  the  Tri-Hi-Y  purpose  which 
will  be  in  effect  later  in  the  Senior  Tri-Hi-Y.  Also,  they 
uphold  the  principles  of  their  organization. 

Being  affiliated  with  the  Y.M.C.A.,  these  girls  try 
to  have  a better  moral  and  religious  understanding. 
This  understanding  will  help  these  girls  accept  their 


places  in  Senior  Tri-Hi-Y  and  also  in  later  life. 

During  monthly  meetings,  their  programs  consist  of 
lectures,  films,  guest  speakers  and  panel  discussions. 
Each  member  takes  part  in  these  meetings  in  some 
way. 

Representatives  of  the  Junior  Tri-Hi-Y  go  to  the 
District  Conference  held  by  the  Y.M.C.A. 

Girls  in  the  Junior  Tri-Hi-Y  help  Alleghany  spirit-

Membership  in  the  Varsity  Club  is  an  honor  won  by 
boys  who  have  earned  letters  in  various  sports.  Mem- 
bers of  the  club  are  either  participants  in  football, 
track,  basketball,  cross  country,  wrestling,  or  baseball. 

To  win  a letter  in  football  or  baseball,  an  athlete 
must  play  a certain  length  of  time  designated  at  the 
beginning  of  the  season.  In  basketball,  due  to  the  size 
of  the  team,  everyone  wins  a letter.  In  cross  country, 
track  and  wrestling,  letters  are  given  on  the  basis  of 
points  earned  and  ability  shown. 

Selling  ACHS  sweat  shirts  is  the  main  project  of 


ACHS's  Varsity  Club.  This  project  covers  the  cost  of 
the  annual  Varsity  Club  picnic  held  each  spring.  All 
members  and  their  guests  are  invited  to  this  picnic. 
Different  sports  are  played  at  the  picnic  between  these 
athletes  and  are  enjoyed  by  all. 

Athletes  are  honored  by  being  in  the  Varsity  Club. 
All  the  students  of  ACHS  admire  these  boys  and  their 
coaches.  Also,  the  hard  work  that  each  boy  expends  in 
participating  in  his  chosen  sport  is  realized  through 
his  membership  in  the  club.

Realizing  the  fact  that  future  generations 
may  fail  or  succeed,  depending  on  the  career 
preparation  of  teachers  of  tomorrow,  mem- 
bers of  Alleghany's  FTA  learn  the  responsi- 
bilities and  opportunities  of  the  teaching  pro- 
fession. 

This  year  is  the  first  year  that  the  FTA  has 
been  organized  at  ACHS.  Among  their  ac- 
tivities are  having  bake  sales,  sponsoring  sock 
hops,  and  holding  their  annual  picnic.  Also, 
they  do  substitute  teaching  and  observe  teach- 
ers' classes.  By  doing  this,  the  FTA  members 
realize  the  importance  of  a teacher's  job. 

Having  special  programs  and  speakers  help 
the  FTA  members  to  develop  character,  indi- 
viduality, and  leadership. 


While  teaching  a class,  a member  of  the  FTA  employs 
unusual  punishment  on  an  unruly  student,  Gary  Ander- 
son. 


Future  Nurses’  Members  Visit  Area  Hospitals

Future  Nurses  Club  is  made  up  of  girls  interested 
in  the  nursing  profession  or  other  health  careers.  En- 
couraging the  nursing  vocation  is  the  main  purpose 
of  the  FNC. 

Participating  in  activities  pertaining  to  the  medical 
field,  the  members  help  the  area  nurses  give  the 
T.I.N.E.  tests  to  all  eighth  grade  students  at  ACHS. 
These  tests  are  given  to  detect  the  possibility  of  tuber- 
culosis in  any  of  these  students. 

Also,  the  members  of  the  FNC  visit  area  hospitals 
to  learn  more  about  the  career  which  they  are  going 
into.  In  addition,  they  have  student  and  registered 
nurses  to  come  and  speak  to  the  girls  in  order  to  help 
them  understand  just  what  is  involved  in  becoming  a 
nurse. 

Sponsored  by  Mrs.  Shelor,  the  Future  Nurses  Club 
has  become  affiliated  with  the  National  League  of 


Nursing.  This  is  the  same  organization  to  which  all 
registered  and  student  nurses  belong. 

At  the  close  of  this  school  year  the  members  got  to- 
gether for  one  final  activity  which  was  a picnic.  Every- 
one expressed  complete  satisfaction  in  the  results  of 
the  picnic  and  also  in  the  other  activities  of  the  club. 

Bringing  together  young  girls  interested  in  careers 
in  medicine  and  performing  services  beneficial  to  the 
community  and  school  is  the  goal  of  the  Future  Nurses 
Club.  Numerous  persons  are  benefitted,  due  to  the  ef- 
forts exhibited  by  Future  Nurses  Club  members.  Also, 
through  their  knowledge  in  First  Aid  their  help  is 
greatly  appreciated. 

Success  and  achievement  is  evident  as  the  club  ac- 
quires rewards  from  hours  of  hard  work,  thus  making 
Alleghany  proud  of  this  fine  organization.

Future  Homemakers  Present  Fashion  Show 


Two  basic  elements  are  required  of  the 
Future  Homemakers  of  America:  home 
economics  must  be  one  of  their  subjects, 
and  the  girls  must  show  a definite  interest 
in  the  art  of  homemaking.  Those  meeting 
the  requirements  are  welcomed  into  the 
F.H.A.  by  its  co-sponsors,  Mrs.  Perdue  and 
Mrs.  Harmon. 

F.H.A.  members  sponsor  many  of  Al- 
leghany's social  events;  two  of  these  are 
the  Christmas  Formal  and  the  Sadie  Haw- 
kins Dance.  They  also  serve  for  several 
of  the  school  banquets. 

In  the  spring  the  club  holds  its  annual 
Mother-Daughter  Banquet  and  a fashion 
show.  In  this  fashion  show  each  member 
models  the  garment  which  she  made  dur- 
ing the  year. 

With  projects,  speakers,  and  other  ac- 
tivities, the  F.H.A  provides  a firm  helping 
hand  in  promoting  the  qualities  found  in 
outstanding  homemakers.

The  Future  Business  Leaders  of  America  is  a 
national  organization  composed  of  students  en- 
rolled in  business  courses.  The  main  purpose  of 
the  FBLA  is  to  acquaint  its  members  with  the  busi- 
ness world.  It  accomplishes  this  by  having  guest 
speakers  from  different  local  businesses  and  also 
by  taking  a field  trip  to  the  offices  of  West  Vir- 
ginia Pulp  and  Paper  Company  and  to  Hercules. 

Under  the  guidance  of  Mrs.  Bush,  Mrs.  Sams, 
and  Mrs.  Swartz,  the  FBLA  meets  twice  a month

tatives to  the  State  FBLA  Convention.  Also,  this 
year  the  candidate  for  Miss  FBLA  representing  the 
Madison  District,  is  Darlene  Tucker  a member  of 
the  ACHS  chapter  of  the  FBLA.

Spanish  Club  Works  And  Learns  Together 


All  students  who  take,  or  have  taken  Spanish  may 
belong  to  ACHS's  Spanish  Club.  This  club  is  primari- 
ly social;  however,  monthly  meetings  are  centered 
around  the  idea  of  bringing  Spanish  customs  and 
habits  into  the  view  of  the  Spanish-speaking  students. 

Sock  hops  are  among  the  activities  sponsored  by  the 
Spanish  Club.  Also,  at  the  end  of  the  school  year  a tra- 
ditional picnic  is  held.  Fun  and  sun  bring  Spanish  Club 
members  together  for  the  last  time. 

Mrs.  Sumner,  sponsor,  strives  to  enable  students  to 
gain  a deeper  understanding  and  appreciation  for  a 
foreign  country. 

Throughout  the  year,  the  club  members  enjoy  work- 
ing and  learning  together  in  an  atmosphere  sometimes 
similar  to  an  old  Spanish  hacienda,  and  at  other  times 
comparable  to  Spain  today. 


Mrs.  Sumner  uses  idiom  cards  often  as  a teaching  aid.

skili  in  a different  way,  join  the  Latin  Club

ance. Each  member  takes  part  in  it  one  way  or 
another.

ACHS’s  D.E.  Club  Holds  District  Conference 


In  June  many  of  the  Alleghany  County  High  School 
graduates  are  prepared  to  meet  their  first  challenges 
in  the  business  world  because  of  the  Distributive  Edu- 
cation Club  Largely  responsible  for  these  trained 
minds  is  Mr.  Duff,  sponsor.  He  teaches  the  funda- 
mentals of  merchandising,  such  as  appropriate  man- 
ners and  sales  tact. 

Carrying  this  training  outside  the  classroom,  each 
member  has  a job  after  school.  Most  of  the  members 
leave  school  early  in  order  to  work  a half  day  at 
some  local  business.  No  member  abuses  his  job  be- 
cause he  is  given  a grade  for  his  performance  on  the 
job. 


Each  year  the  District  Convention  is  held.  This  year 
it  was  held  at  Alleghany  County  High  School.  There 
were  D.  E.  representatives  from  the  entire  western  part 
of  Virginia.  The  convention  proved  to  be  a huge  suc- 
cess. 

This  year  at  the  annual  spring  banquet  George  Kos- 
tel,  local  delegate  to  the  Virginia  General  Assembly, 
was  guest  speaker.  He  was  enjoyed  by  all  members  of 
the  D.  E.  Club  attending. 

The  members  of  the  ACHS  D.  E.  Club  strive  for 
high  standards  in  salesmanship,  and  these  are  attain- 
ed with  the  help  of  Mr.  Duff  and  local  merchants.

ALCOVA  Staff  Strives  For  A Creative  Book 


"Where's  the  wheel?" 

"Do  I have  enough  copy  to  fill 
this  block?" 

"Did  you  say  the  deadline  is  to- 
morrow?" 

"What  do  you  mean  we  are  out 
of  lay-out  sheets?!" 

These  are  the  typical  shattering 
questions  heard  from  room  107 
near  the  end  of  any  school  day. 

This  year  with  David  Smith  as 
editor,  Donna  Kelly  as  copy-editor, 
Paula  Sue  Traylor  as  lay-out  edi- 
tor, and  Mrs.  Joyce  Barber  as  spon- 
sor, the  annual  staff  endeavored  to 
create  a unique  yearbook. 

Each  person  was  responsible  for 
a section  of  the  book,  but  combin- 
ed efforts  were  used  to  make  ma- 
jor decisions. 

Along  with  Mrs.  Barber,  two 
members  of  the  staff  attended  the 
Southern  Inter-Scholastic  Press  As- 
sociation in  order  to  learn  new 
journalistic  styles.  Also,  the  staff 
attended  a Delmar  Yearbook 
Workshop  to  acquire  some  fresh 
ideas. 

Through  moments  of  hard  work 
and  frustration,  the  staff  still  de- 
lighted in  the  creation  of  the 
ALCOVA. 


Deciding  on  the  type  for  the  '67  ALCOVA,  the  entire  staff  ex-  Becky  Anderson,  Donna  Kelly,  Wendell  Alfred,  Lewis  Mitchell, 

amines  the  examples  of  the  different  styles.  Staff  members:  Mary  Paula  Sue  Traylor,  David  Smith,  and  Mrs.  Joyce  Barber,  sponsor. 

Kathryne  Wicker,  Barbara  Ann  Fisher,  Thaddea  Chamberlin, 


Deciding  on  the  lay-out  for  the  opening  section,  is  one  of  the  many  decisions  of  the  tri-

PA  TRIOT  Staff  Presents  News  As  It  Happens 


PATRIOT  members,  Nancy  Nicely,  Luana  Nicely,  Virgil  Lewis,  Jeanne  Walton,  Gale  Thrasher,  Ella  Downey,  Judy  Tyree  and 

Mary  Ann  Byer,  Susan  Loomis,  Montrue  Fourqurean,  Sue  Wolfe,  Leslie  Kanney  anxiously  await  the  first  copies  of  a new  edition. 


Uppermost  in  the  aims  of  the  PATRIOT 
staff  is  bringing  the  latest  news  to  the  students 
in  an  accurate  way.  This  is  accomplished  un- 
der the  guidance  of  Mrs.  Rebecca  Jonas. 

PATRIOT  staff  members  work  hard  in  get- 
ting the  news  ready  for  publication.  Reporting 
organizations'  activities,  sports  and  extracur- 
ricular activities,  the  staff  reaches  and  main- 
tains the  students'  interests. 

ACHS's  paper  is  distributed  once  a month 
with  several  special  editions.  Included  in  the 
final  issue  of  the  PATRIOT,  which  is  dedicated 
to  the  Class  of  '67,  are  class  prophecies,  Last 
Will  and  Testaments,  and  Senior  Superlatives. 

Vital  to  the  functioning  of  any  newspaper 
is  a hard  working  editor.  Sue  Wolfe,  serving  as 
editor  of  the  '67  PATRIOT,  ably  led  the  staff 
in  accumulating  a fine  production  record. 

Much  hard  work  goes  into  publishing  a 
school  paper,  but  this  immense  task  is  accom- 
plished by  the  PATRIOT  staff  members. 


Concentrating  on  classroom  instruction  are  Vickie  Reid,  Sue  Wolfe,  Jeanne 
Walton,  Luana  Nicely,  Judy  Tyree,  Susan  Loomis,  Bonnie  Smith,  Nancy

Art  Club  Members  Hold  Annual  Exhibition 


Those  who  take  art  and  have  a desire  to  acquire 
more  knowledge  about  this  subject  join  the  Art  Club. 
Miss  Smith,  sponsor,  offers  competent  guidance  and 
assistance  whenever  she  is  called  upon. 

The  Art  Club  has  a showing  on  television,  when 
ACHS  students  visit  "Saturday  Session."  Also,  after 
the  Baccalaureate  services  at  Alleghany,  they  hold 
their  annual  art  exhibition.  This  gives  the  public  an 
opportunity  to  view  the  works  of  art  that  the  first  and 
second  year  students  turn  out.  Each  viewer  has  only 
praise  for  these  high  school  students'  artistry. 


Not  only  is  art  a vocation  for  those  who  are  artis- 
tically inclined,  but  also  it  serves  as  a relaxing  hobby. 
With  the  guidance  of  Miss  Smith  every  member  en- 
joys his  work. 

Meeting  once  a month,  the  Art  Club  has  lectures 
and  demonstrations  concerning  the  different  types  of 
paintings,  ceramics,  and  collages. 

By  making  available  such  interest-developing  or- 
ganizations as  the  Art  Club,  Alleghany  County  High 
School  has  further  accomplished  its  goals  in  the  edu- 
cation of  a developing  generation.

Under  the  competent  sponsorship  and  direction  of 
Mrs.  Flora  Thompson,  the  Alleghany  County  High 
School  choir  increases  the  students'  appreciation  of 
music.  Many  worthwhile  hours  go  into  preparing  for 
its  major  performances,  the  Christmas  Concert  and 
the  Spring  Concert. 

Not  only  does  the  choir  sing  for  school  assemblies, 
but  also  it  sings  at  banquets  and  local  meetings. 

This  year,  along  with  Mrs.  Thompson  as  director, 
the  choir  has  a student  director,  Allan  Tucker.  During 
each  performance,  Allan  takes  over  for  at  least  one 
number. 

Baccalaureate  marks  the  final  appearance  of  the 
choir.  Seniors  and  guests  are  grateful  for  the  air  of 
solemnity  added  by  the  choirs'  performance. 

Each  year  the  choir  performs  at  various  school 
events,  and  the  applause  given  is  received  with  hardy 
appreciation  by  its  members.  Most  of  the  students'  ap- 
preciation, however,  is  centered  around  the  enjoyable 
times  spent  in  preparing  for  these  performances.

Band  And  Choir 


ACHS's  band  finds  that  a good  performance  re- 
quires many  hours  of  practicing. 


Band  and  choir  classes  combine  their  tal- 
ents to  favor  students  and  community  citizens 
with  a period  of  musical  enjoyment.  They  pre- 
sent two  separate  spring  concerts,  one  for  the 
student  body  in  the  morning  and  one  for  the 
community  in  the  evening. 

This  year  choir  members  made  a spectacu- 
lar hit  as  the  curtain  rose  and  the  audience 
viewed  the  boys  in  white  dinner  jackets  and 
the  girls  in  lovely  pastel  formals.  Solos  were 
sung  by  Allan  Tucker  and  Calvin  McClinton. 
These  were  "Old  Man  River"  and  "I  Got  Plen- 
ty of  Nuttin/  " respectively.  After  several 
renditions  of  spiritual  and  popular  music  were 
completed,  the  choir  received  hardy  applause. 

Opening  the  1967  spring  band  concert, 
Steve  Young  played  an  intricate  clarinet  solo. 
Quite  appealing  to  the  audience  was  the 
band's  medley  of  tunes  from  THE  SOUND  OF 
MUSIC.  The  final  selection  in  the  medley, 
"Climb  Every  Mountain,"  received  resounding 
applause. 

As  a whole,  the  spring  concert  at  Alleghany 
was  a magnificent  performance  by  high  school 
students.  Everyone  anxiously  waits  to  see  how 
ACHS  will  top  this  year's  performance.

By  Alleghany  County  High  School  Band 


Football  season  is  not  complete  without  the  music  of  Al- 
leghany County  High  School's  band,  led  by  drum  major,  Paul 
Warwick.  During  half-time,  the  air  is  filled  with  the  music  of 
the  band. 

Their  strenuous  hours  of  practice  prove  worthwhile  when 
they  perform  in  the  Christmas  pageant.  They  present  spiritual 
as  well  as  frolicking  Christmas  music. 

They  appear  in  several  other  local  parades  throughout  the 
year.  Also,  they  go  to  Vinton  to  perform  in  the  Dogwood  Fes- 
tival and  this  year  they  performed  in  the  Farmers'  Day  Parade. 

Under  the  direction  of  Mr.  Leonard  Baber,  the  band  com- 
bines with  the  choir  to  present  a Spring  Concert. 

The  last  performance  presented  by  the  band  this  year  was 
playing  for  the  graduation  ceremonies  at  Clifton  Forge-Cov- 
ington  Community  College. 

Alleghany  County  High  School  Band  is  always  ready  to  pro- 
vide music  to  raise  enthusiasm  at  football  games  and  create  a 
proper  atmosphere  for  school  assemblies. 


Steve  Young,  Eugenia  Hoke,  Carolyn  Honts,  Judy  Deisher,  Tommy 
Callaghan,  Janice  Williams,  Phil  Eaton,  Emma  Hoke,  Thomas  Wade, 
Karen  Hoke,  Curtis  Nelson,  Billy  Lowry,  William  VanLear,  Charlie 
Burr,  and  Pam  Smith  led  the  band  up  the  football  field  during  half- 
time of  the  Covington-Alleghany  game.

K.  V.G.  ’s  Protect  Area  From  Threatening  Fires 


KVGs  are  boys  who  are  dedicated  to  the  purpose  of 
preserving  Virginia's  forests.  These  boys  are  trained 
by  local  forest  rangers  to  fight  Virginia's  forests' 
deadliest  enemy — fire.  Millions  of  dollars  of  damage 
are  reported  each  year  not  only  from  fire  but  also  be- 
cause of  flood  due  to  the  lack  of  timber.  Loss  of  for- 
est timber  also  results  in  erosion  of  valuable  top  soil. 

Alleghany's  KVGs  are  especially  active  in  their  par- 
ticipation in  this  organization  because  of  the  location 
of  their  homes.  County  students  are  constantly  aware 
of  the  threat  of  fire  to  their  homes.  Also,  most  of  the 
boys  enjoy  Virginia's  wildlife.  They  all  wish  to  protect 


the  animals  and  also  their  habitat.  Each  year,  the  first 
year  KVG  members  are  excused  from  school  one  day 
to  learn  the  methods  of  fire-fighting.  These  boys  wear 
their  old  clothes  to  school  but  they  look  worse  than 
ever  when  the  day  is  completed.  Tired  and  weary, 
they  go  home  with  their  newly  acquired  knowledge 
fresh  in  their  minds. 

Alleghany's  Keep  Virginia  Green  boys  are  ever  on 
call  to  fight  to  protect  their  surrounding  area.  Work- 
ing together  as  a team,  these  ACHS  students  make  a 
unique  contribution  to  school  and  to  community 
through  the  protection  of  Virginia's  forests.

Mr.  Osborne,  Mrs.  Kitt 
Render  Services  To  A CHS 

No  school  can  function  without  proper  care  and  constant 
maintenance.  Much  of  the  day-to-day  maintenance  in  and 
around  a school  building  is  taken  for  granted,  and  those  at- 
tending school  tend  to  forget  that  these  menial  chores  have 
to  be  done  by  someone.  ACHS  is  fortunate  to  have  two  able 
people,  Mr.  Dave  Osborne  and  Mrs.  Hettie  Kitt,  who  take 
great  pride  in  the  school  and  do  much  to  see  that  the  interior 
and  exterior  of  the  building  are  always  in  commendable  condi- 
tion. Mr.  Osborne  has  many  responsibilities  which  he  performs 
punctually  as  well  as  capably.  The  complaints  he  receives  may 
sometimes  be  tiresome  and  irritating,  but  he  listens,  then  will- 
ingly tries  to  improve  the  unpleasant  situation.  Mrs.  Kitt's 
duties  are  wide  and  varied,  but  she  manages  to  accomplish 
each  of  these  tasks  in  a quiet,  methodical  way.  Her  humble, 
unassuming  attitude  and  helpful  manner  have  won  for  her 
the  respect  of  the  students  and  faculty  alike. 

Both  of  these  little-recognized  people  have  thankless  jobs 
which  require  more  time  and  energy  than  most  persons  real- 
ize. Not  only  are  these  two  faithful  employees,  but  they  are 
also  staunch  supporters  of  all  of  Alleghany's  activities.  Mr. 
Osborne  and  Mrs.  Kitt  deserve  a lot  of  credit  for  what  they  do 
for  ACHS. 


Mr.  Osborne  begins  his  day  by  checking  the  furnaces  to 
insure  proper  functioning. 


Mrs.  Kitt  performs  one  of  her  routine  tasks,  cleaning  the 
windows  in  the  cafeteria  doors.

Find  A Variety  Of  Interests  At  Alleghany 


Each  year  a new  crop  of  eighth-graders  arrive  in  a 
whirlwind  of  confusion.  Upperclassmen  often  encoun- 
ter them  in  the  hall  with  a schedule  card  in  one  hand, 
a stack  of  books  in  the  other  and  a bewildered  look 
on  their  faces.  Eighth  graders  experience  the  idea  of 
changing  classes  for  the  first  time.  They  are  also  in- 
troduced to  a well-developed  athletic  program  which 
encourages  individual  and  team  efforts.  As  the  year 
progresses  they  get  settled  into  the  routine  and  ac- 
quire the  habit  of  wishing  they  were  freshmen  so  they 
wouldn't  have  to  stand  up  in  the  assemblies. 

Freshmen  begin  the  school  year  with  anticipation 
because  it  is  their  first  genuine  year  of  high  school. 
Usually  the  last  four  years  of  school  are  designated  as 
"high  school."  Freshmen  get  into  the  real  swing  of 
school  life  because  they  are  now  eligible  to  join  more 
organizations  and  take  a more  active  part  in  the  func- 
tioning of  their  school.  Academically,  they  have  their 
first  introduction  to  higher  math  and  science  courses. 

Sophomores  are  that  rather  in-between  class.  This 
year  is  spent  mainly  in  bridging  the  gap  between  jun- 
ior high  activities  and  senior  high  activities.  Tenth 
graders  are  always  anxious  to  begin  their  first  elec- 
tive classes.  Boys  can  also  begin  participating  in  Al- 
leghany's varsity  athletic  program.  Sophomores  have 


to  begin  to  raise  money  for  the  all  important  Junior- 
Senior  Prom.  This  is  the  year  when  the  class  really 
begins  to  function  as  a team. 

Most  important  in  the  school  year  of  a junior  is  the 
day  he  receives  his  class  ring.  Juniors  have  to  face  the 
nerve-shattering  experience  of  college  boards.  Junior 
Class  Play  and  the  Junior  Senior  Prom  are  just  a cou- 
ple of  the  main  activities  in  which  they  are  the  featur- 
ed performers.  Each  junior  inevitably  looks  forward 
to  the  crowning  touch  of  his  school  career,  the  senior 
year. 

"We  finally  made  it!"  This  is  the  unison  declaration 
from  members  of  the  senior  class.  But  as  the  weeks 
progress  they  see  how  very  much  is  before  them — 
Senior  Play,  Senior  Banquet,  vocational  choice  and 
graduation.  Finally,  as  graduation  is  concluded  the 
seniors  feel  a deep  sadness  because  the  job  is  finished. 
They  realize  now  that  all  the  joy  was  in  the  striving 
for  and  not  in  the  attaining  of  the  goal. 

Underclassmen  can  all  look  forward  to  fruitful  years 
at  Alleghany.  This  year's  seniors  can  look  forward  to 
the  goals  of  tomorrow,  realizing  that  they  have  al- 
ready successfully  achieved  their  common  goal  at 
ACHS — graduation.

During  a conference  with  Lois  McAllister,  Miss  O'Farrell  paused  to  find  some  informa- 
tion for  Mrs.  Lipsey. 


Anthony  Salyers,  class  president,  appeared  nos- 
talgic at  the  class  banquet. 


Turning  their  tassels,  seniors  Mary  Wal- 
ton, John  Swartz,  Sue  Wolfe,  and  Alice 
Carroll  demonstrated  that  the  Class  of  '67 
had  now  become  Alumni  of  ACHS. 


As  the  year  drew  to  a close, 
Steve  Byerly  was  one  of  the 
seniors  who  seized  oppor- 
tune moments  for  escaping 
from  last-minute  pressures 
realized  only  by  seniors.

Students  Progressed  Closer  To  Individuality 


As  the  youngest  class  at  Alleghany,  the  eighth  grade  class  often  gave  precedence  to  all  other 
students.  This  was  the  case  when  they  were  asked  to  stand  in  assemblies. 


ACHS's  basketball  games  have  been  noted  for  tense  ex- 
citement and  emotion. 


Students  in  all  grades  combined  their  talents  to  form  a working  and  learning  band  with  in- 
dividual effort  recognized  through  occasional  solos. 


John  Bradley  and  Jeanne  Walton  danced 
dreamily  at  the  Homecoming  Dance. 


Jim  Kelly  and  Mike  Sams  found  decorating  for  the  prom  a unique 
experience. 


Epilogue 

Athletics,  organizations,  academics,  and  extracur- 
ricular activities  are  all  important  phases  of  school  life 
at  Alleghany.  These  various  groups  enable  an  individual 
to  contribute  something  to  his  school  and  at  the  same 
time  discover  hidden  or  unused  talents  within  himself. 

Many  varied  sports  are  offered  at  ACHS  for  both 
girls  and  boys.  These  varied  athletic  scopes  allow  the 
student  to  become  acquainted  with  the  importance  of 
teamwork  and  at  the  same  time  they  help  him  discover 
his  personal  abilities  and  limitations.  Organizations  can 
be  classed  in  several  different  categories.  First,  there 
are  the  organizations  which  encourage  an  individual's 
growth  in  spirit,  mind,  and  body.  These  groups  inspire 
an  individual  to  make  contributions  to  home,  school,  and 
community.  Members  of  these  are  assigned  challenging 
responsibilities  and  through  fulfilling  these  tasks  acquire 
profound  concepts  of  justice  and  fairness.  Second,  there 
are  organizations  which  aid  a student  to  formulate  a 
picture  of  his  prospective  vocational  choice.  Academics 
are  of  the  highest  standards  at  Alleghany.  One  of  the 
main  tributes  to  academic  excellence  is  the  free  ex- 
pression of  individual  ideas  encouraged  by  teachers  and 
appreciated  by  students.  Students  learn  the  importance 
of  personal  suggestions  as  well  as  respect  for  the  dif- 
ferent ideas  of  their  classmates.  Dances  are  one  of  the 
major  extracurricular  activities,  but  even  they  are  often 
an  outgrowth  of  some  organization  or  athletic  group. 
These  after-school-hours  activities  also  play  their  role  in 
the  total  development  of  the  individual. 

Regardless  of  the  nature  of  the  activity  at  ACHS,  the 
group  as  well  as  the  individual  has  a unique  significance. 
Group  projects  could  not  be  completed  if  individuals  did 
not  work  together  and  pool  their  resources.  If  each 
person  held  steadfastly  to  his  own  convictions  and  did 
not  realize  the  power  of  the  majority,  all  group  efforts 
would  end  in  failure.  Students  at  Alleghany  County  High 
School  do  most  indefinitely  realize  the  principles  on 
which  our  country  is  founded.  But,  how  successful  would 
the  group  be  without  the  individual's  contributions  and 
ideas?  The  atmosphere  at  Alleghany  encourages  each 
student  to  discover  his  potentials  and  to  develop  them 
to  the  fullest  extent. 

As  "the  child  is  father  of  the  man,"  so  is  high  school 
the  basis  for  later  life.  From  the  crowd  of  students  at 
ACHS  emerge  separate  individuals  who  as  a result  of 
experience  acquired  at  ACHS,  will  be  ready  to  face  the 
future  armed  with  knowledge,  fortitude,  and  the  desire 
to  succeed.

Advertisements 


Kathy  Conner  examines  the  1966  ALCOVA  in 
preparation  for  the  ad  sales  campaign.  She  wants 
to  be  able  to  show  last  year's  ad  as  she  makes  her 
sales  pitch. 


As  the  seniors  leave  the  school,  the  1967  ad  sales  campaign  is 
underway. 


Promote  Firm  Relations  With  Local  Merchants 


Financing  is  an  all  important  aspect  in  the  success- 
ful completion  of  a yearbook.  Each  year  senior  stu- 
dents are  chosen  for  the  annual  ad  soliciting  cam- 
paign for  the  ALCOVA.  They  are  grouped  in  a manner 
that  enables  them  to  canvass  the  two  area  cities,  Cov- 
ington and  Clifton  Forge,  efficiently.  Every  individual 
salesman  strives  to  sell  the  greatest  number  of  ads. 
Lunch  time  usually  finds  them  at  a local  eating  es- 
tablishment comparing  their  sales.  Spirit  renewed 
and  hunger  relieved,  every  salesman  sets  out  to 
achieve  even  greater  heights  of  success.  As  the  day 
draws  to  a close,  weary  students  bring  their  receipts 


to  the  business  manager  for  a final  tally. 

All  weariness  is  forgotten  when  it  is  discovered 
the  goal  has  not  only  been  reached  but  exceeded.  The 
top  salesman  accepts  congratulations  from  the  crowd 
with  a smile  of  accomplishment. 

Although  the  hard  working  ad  salesmen  are  im- 
portant, their  work  would  be  in  vain  if  it  were  not  for 
the  friendly,  generous  merchants  that  are  so  abundant 
in  this  area.  Thanks  should  be  given  to  these  mer- 
chants, for  it  is  they  who  make  the  publication  of 
the  ALCOVA  possible.

Tree  farming 


is  a 

GROWING 

business 


Proof?  Ten  years  ago,  there  were  only  16 
million  acres  of  woodlands  on  the  nation’s 
accredited  Tree  Farms.  Today,  there 
are  almost  50  million  acres,  a three-fold 
increase.  Each  Tree  Farm  is  being  operated  as 
a private  enterprise,  growing  trees  for  a 
regular  cash  income,  just  like  any  other  crop. 

One  of  the  big  reasons  why  tree  farming  is 
a growing  business  is  because  the  market  for 
wood  is  growing.  Annual  consumption  of 
wood  products  is  rising  at  a steady  rate 
and  continues  to  rise  as  our  economy  expands. 

The  country’s  tree  farmers  are  able  to  supply  these 
growing  needs  because  they  are  employing  scientific  forestry 
methods  in  cutting,  harvesting,  seeding  and  through  the 
protection  of  their  timber  from  fire  and  disease. 
This  is  good  news  not  only  for  tree  farmers  and 
wood-using  industries,  but  also  for  the  nation.

DIALING 

Your  telephone  is  your  personal  path- 
way to  anyone,  anywhere.  It  spans  con- 
tinents and  oceans — and  does  this  so 
swiftly,  it  makes  distance  disappear. 

With  a telephone  you're  always  near 
friends  — even  when  they're  half-a- 
world  away.
